Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) candidate for Magarinin Constituency by-election Furaha Chengo Ngumbao has resigned from the Party.

In a resignation seen by hivileo.co.ke, Furaha resigned effective immediately and accused DCP leadership of undermining his efforts.

“Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) as a National Executive Committee (NEC) member, effective immediately. This decision has not been taken lightly, but I can no longer continue in a role where my efforts are undermined by systemic inefficiencies and a lack of support from key party officials,” Furaha said.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude and respect to our party leader for their unwavering commitment to our ideals and vision. Their leadership has been a source of inspiration, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have served under their guidance.”

Furaha said his experience with the National Elections Board (NEB) and the Secretary-General (SG) has been profoundly disappointing.

He claimed that there was a persistent lack of communication, disregard for grassroots concerns, and failure to provide clear directives.

Furaha said these inefficiencies have created an environment where aspirants like himself are left to navigate critical issues without guidance or support.

“Specifically, the absence of timely feedback, opaque decision-making processes, and the marginalization of NEC members in key deliberations have eroded my confidence in the party’s ability to function effectively. These issues have not only hindered my work but also compromised my ability to serve my supporters effectively,” he said.

Furaha advised DCP Party’s future leadership to prioritize transparency, inclusivity, and accountability.

He said the party’s success depends on the active engagement and trust of its members.

“I fear that without meaningful reforms, we risk alienating the very people we aim to serve. It is in this realization that I Hon Furaha Chengo Ngumbao, a patriotic Kenyan, tender my resignation as a member of the Democracy for Citizens Party DCP with immediate effect,” Furaha said.
