Chebukati makes 1st public appearance after fake news reports of his "death" in Uganda

Just in

IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati on Wednesday made his first public appearance after weeks of maintaining a low profile.

Chebukati received a comprehensive compilation (Compendium) of electoral laws that have been published by the UNDP.

UNDP's Chief Technical Officer, Joram Rukambe, handed over 500 copies to the IEBC Chairman during a meeting at the electoral commission's office at Anniversary Towers.

Questions on the Chebukati's whereabouts were raised after his deputy at the IEBC, Connie Maina, issued a statement where she signed as "acting Vice Chairperson".

Ms Maina was responding to parallel results released by the NASA coalition a few days before its leader Raila Odinga was sworn in.

At some point, Chebukati fell victim of fake news after a news website reported that the IEBC boss had been killed in Kampala, Uganda.
