Former IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati has passed away at the age of 64.
Chebukati, who had been ailing for a long time, passed away last night at 11 p.m. in Nairobi Hospital, where he had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for close to a week after being rushed from his Nairobi home.
According to family sources, Chebukati had been battling cancer and had been in and out of the hospital for the past two years.
Chebukati oversaw two controversial Kenyan general elections in 2017 and 2022 before his retirement in 2023, having served his full tenure.
