Incident 10251 Report
Alleged Deepfake Video Falsely Shows Former President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta Announcing 2027 Presidential Bid

2024-03-18

A widely shared TikTok video falsely depicts former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta announcing a 2027 presidential run. Digital forensics and visual inconsistencies confirm the video is an AI-generated deepfake, using archival footage from his presidency with synthesized audio. The fabricated clip spread rapidly online but has been debunked by fact-checkers. Kenyatta has made no such announcement, and such a move would violate Kenya’s two-term constitutional limit.
