The former Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Wafula Chebukati, has reemerged one year following the conclusion of the election.
Following the completion of the contentious and divisive elections last year, which involved the prominent figures of Dr. William Ruto and Raila Odinga, Chebukati, the chairman of the electoral commission, had withdrawn from public view. However, on Sunday, August 20, photographs surfaced of Chebukati in a domestic setting beside an individual presumed to be his father.
A well-known media organization displayed several photographs on their social media platforms, wherein Chebukati and the individual in question were observed to be expressing joyful facial expressions. The elderly gentleman appears to be of a similar age to the former chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The Kenyan populace responded to the photographs with a sense of curiosity, pondering the apparent discrepancy in age between Chebukati and the father figure.
Who is the paternal figure and who is Chebukati?Amakanji Thomas had a state of profound surprise.
There was a state of confusion expressed by a social media user regarding the identification of the previous Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman among the two individuals included in the photograph.
Sir, are you suggesting that Chebukati has two biological fathers? I am able to perceive solely two paternal figures. Nyatieng noticed that, according to Kinyua Abala’s observation, Wafula Chebukati appears older than Raila Odinga despite being younger than him, therefore resembling Odinga’s paternal figure.
Chebukati, a legal practitioner by occupation, who has subsequently resigned from his position at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), will soon be succeeded through a process that will be determined by the bipartisan negotiations.
He facilitated President William Ruto’s attainment of victory in the previous year’s election and maintained a steadfast stance that the electoral process was carried out in a manner that upheld principles of freedom and fairness, despite facing opposition from politicians aligned with the Azimio movement.
In addition to receiving an award from the head of State, Mary Wanyonyi, the wife of Chebukati, was recently extended a job opportunity within the State by President William Ruto.
The individual in question currently holds the position of chairperson within the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA).
