Ahmed Issack Hassan
Ahmed Issack Hassan is a prominent Kenyan lawyer and politician, best known for his role as the chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) from 2011 until his removal in 2017. He oversaw the 2013 general elections, which were seen as a significant milestone in Kenya's electoral process. However, his tenure was marred by controversies, particularly surrounding the 2017 presidential election, which was annulled by the Supreme Court due to irregularities. This decision led to a re-election that further exposed divisions within the IEBC and the political landscape in Kenya. Hassan's leadership style and decisions often faced scrutiny, and his departure from the commission paved the way for Wafula Chebukati to succeed him.
