Former MP Omingo Magara resigns as UDA Treasurer

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) treasurer Omingo Magara has resigned from his position and the party citing lack of democracy.

Making the announcement on Monday at St Vincent Pastoral Centre in Kisii County, Magara said he has consulted with his supporters backing his bid for the Kisii gubernatorial seat, resulting to his bold move. 

"For a very long time I have harboured and ambitioned to be the Kisii County governor through the UDA party where I was also the national treasurer. There has since been developments that render my candidature through the UDA party impossible," he said. 

"After considerable reflection and consultations with my people in Kisii County, national leaders, family and friends, my political ambitions and future cannot be sufficiently addressed by the UDA party. I therefore immediately resign as a party member and as a treasurer.”

The former South Mugirango MP further cited that he is willing to partner with like-minded parties that he says will support his vision for leadership.

 "I'll continue talking to other political players with a view to finding political suitors that align with my vision for Kenyans and that will respect the ethos of inclusivity by crafting a future that weaves a fabric that appreciates every Kenya's dream and aspirations," he stated.
