Kenyans seeking to resign from political parties can now easily do so through various methods, as the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) has streamlined the deregistration process to prevent membership complications.

• Citizens have three main options to deregister: a manual submission, online platforms, or a USSD code.
• The manual method involves sending a formal resignation letter and a copy of your National Identification Card or Kenyan Passport to the Registrar's office or scanning and emailing them to deregistration@orpp.or.ke.
• The quickest option is dialing *509#, while digital-savvy individuals can use the Integrated Political Parties Management System portal or the eCitizen platform.
• Deregistration is effective immediately upon receipt, with the party or individual required to notify the Registrar within seven days; it is a free service.
• Timely deregistration is crucial for those hoping to join another party or run as an independent candidate, with aspiring independent candidates needing to resign at least three months before election dates.
