Mohamed Khadhar Ibrahim is a Kenyan lawyer and a justice of the Supreme Court of Kenya.
Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the president-elect of Kenya by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
Raila Odinga challenged this in the Supreme Court of Kenya.
On June 16, 2016, Dr. Willy Mutunga who had served as the Chief Justice since June 2011 opted for early retirement and named Justice Ibrahim - the senior-most of the Judges left in the Court - as the acting President of the Supreme Court pending the recruitment of a substantive Chief Justice.
[2] After an initial round of vetting, the Kenya Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board found Justice Ibrahim unfit to serve due to a tendency to delay judgments and rulings while serving as a High Court judge.
