A graphic circulating on Facebook in late August 2022 attributes a controversial quote to Wafula Chebukati, the chair of Kenya’s electoral commission.
“When others were doing their campaigns across the country, others were making love with my commissioners. It was not my wish to say this but I have to say,” the quote reads.
Kenya held general elections on 9 August. On 15 August, Chebukati declared Kenya Kwanza alliance candidate William Ruto the winner of the presidential race. Ruto’s main rival was Raila Odinga, leader of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.
