Wafula Wanyonyi Chebukati
Wafula Wanyonyi Chebukati was the former chairman of Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), serving from 2017 until 2022. He oversaw two contentious presidential elections during his tenure, including the annulled 2017 election and the 2022 election marked by significant internal division within the commission. Chebukati's leadership was characterized by frequent clashes with political figures and allegations of electoral malpractice, yet he remained a prominent figure in Kenya's electoral landscape until his recent passing at the age of 63.
