Alleged Deepfake Video Depicts Former President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta Announcing 2027 Presidential Bid
2024-03-18
A widely shared TikTok video purportedly manipulated by AI depicts former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta announcing a 2027 presidential run. Reported digital forensics and visual inconsistencies confirm the video is an AI-generated deepfake, using archival footage from his presidency with synthesized audio. The clip spread rapidly online but has reportedly been debunked by fact-checkers. Kenyatta has made no such announcement, and such a move would violate Kenya's two-term constitutional limit.
