Dennis Itumbi is a Kenyan political strategy consultant and digital journalist. He is also an Election Consultant, known for his role in the campaign of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto in the 2013 Kenyan general election and 2017 Kenyan general election in Kenya.

Itumbi runs a company dealing with online reputational management, digital PR and search engine optimization.

Itumbi acted as a digital strategist for William Ruto during the 2022 Kenyan general election. In February 2022, an investigation into the Israeli hacking and disinformation operation Team Jorge showed that Itumbi had been the target of hacking ahead of the election. During a meeting with the undercover journalists, the group's leader Tal Hanan showcased how he was able to hack into Itumbi's Telegram account. Itumbi subsequently confirmed to The Star that his Telegram account had been infiltrated, and that he noticed “increased activity” in the run-up to the election.
