Today, the Akurinu Church celebrates its 100th anniversary since its founding in June 1922. The grand event will take place at the Kasarani indoor arena. Chief guests expected include President Uhuru Kenyatta, Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua.

Because of the history and circumstances informing its origins, the now two million-member Akurinu Church has never shied away from openly taking a political position or endorsing their preferred candidate(s).
