Abstract
In December 2019, the world was engulfed in coronavirus/COVID19 pandemic that spread like wildfire after emerging from Wuhan City, China. Naturally, this disrupted world's order and how organizations, including workplaces, are managed. In this short communication, we present what and how the Institution of Engineers of Kenya conducted their election campaigns and the election itself. The elections were held electronically. Number of voters' turnout shows some discrepancies as the total votes for the presidential post do not match that of the ordinary council member positions. It is therefore important to improve on transparency at the institution. We recomend that election should be handled by independent scrutineers. Any sitting council should not directly handle any election material. This will enhance accountability and service delivery to members.

Summary
For more than eight months or so the world has been ravaged by novel coronavirus otherwise called SARS-COV-2. Researchers strongly believe that the virus originated from a bat and hopped on to another animal like pangolin before jumping onto to human beings [1]. The outbreak’s origin is believed to be a market in Wuhan City, China. World Health Organisation has since named the disease COVID19 and not Wuhan virus as the earlier reports stated [2]. This is in order to avoid discrimination against the people of Chinese origin. The first case of coronavirus in Kenya was reported on 12th
