What is chebukati?

Chebukati is a surname of Kenyan origin. It is primarily associated with Wafula Chebukati, who is a Kenyan lawyer and served as the Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) from January 2017 to April 2021. During his tenure, Chebukati oversaw the controversial 2017 presidential election, which was marred with accusations of fraud, leading to the unprecedented nullification of the election by the Supreme Court. He also oversaw the re-run of the election, which was boycotted by the opposition, resulting in a low voter turnout. Chebukati is known for his advocacy for electoral reforms in Kenya.
