NAIROBI, Kenya — Controversial preacher Prophet David Owuor has issued a prophecy concerning Kenya’s 2027 General Election, warning of unprecedented challenges unless the nation turns to God in repentance.
Speaking during an interview with TV47’s Samira Mohammed, broadcast on the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness YouTube channel on Sunday, February 8, Owuor described the upcoming election period as potentially “the most challenging moment Kenya will experience since its birth.”
“The Lord has spoken to me about 2027, and we have even tried to transmit the same message to the leaders. I want this country to know that 2027 is coming, and the Lord Almighty has shown that it will be the most challenging time this country has seen since the birth of this nation,” he said.
Owuor added that he had foreseen “unbelievable contestation” and a surge of youthful engagement from Gen Z voters, which he described as “incredible and out of control.” He declined to elaborate further, stating that the details were “just unbelievable and almost unsalvageable.”
Despite the forewarning, the preacher suggested that divine mercy remains possible if Kenyans embrace repentance. He urged national reflection and called on the government to organise a national repentance day in 2026.
“The Lord has called for repentance because he is fair and just. If you repent, then this will not happen unto you. That is why the Lord is calling for repentance,” Owuor said.
He further stated, “There is a window here in 2026 that I strongly believe the nation will repent and the Lord will relent. As you look to 2027, please organise a national repentance day. Let it not find you unrepentant.”
Owuor’s prophecy follows a series of controversial claims, including a 2025 prediction that the world would end on August 2, which he later denied, calling reports of the claim “false and malicious.”

The preacher has also attracted scrutiny for claims made during a recent crusade in Nakuru, where he asserted to have healed attendees of chronic illnesses, including HIV and AIDS, raising debate among medical professionals and media observers about the legitimacy of faith-based healing claims.
Prophet David Owuor, founder of the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness, is a polarising figure in Kenya’s religious landscape. His large-scale crusades and reported miraculous healings draw both devout followers and sceptical critics.
Investigative media outlets, including TV47, have recently probed some of these claims, sparking legal disputes over alleged “fake miracles.
The interaction between religious prophecies and media reporting continues to fuel debate in Kenya, touching on issues of faith, public perception, and accountability.
