The country was Friday morning thrown into mourning after reports emerged that former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati had passed on.

For the better part of the week, there had been reports that Chebukati was unwell and in critical condition before his family confirmed that he died on Thursday night at the Nairobi hospital.
