The main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced for the information of its supporters and the general public, that the party has declared three days of fasting and prayers, starting from today, Thursday, 5 November 2020, under the theme: ‘The horse is prepared for the day of battle but victory is in the hands of the Lord’ – Proverbs 21:31.
The party, in a statement, said it “deems it necessary to invite Ghanaians to join us in praying and interceding for the peace and stability of Ghana, as our dear nation gears up for a crucial election”.
“It is equally our belief that our nation requires God’s divine intervention to halt the recent spate of armed robbery, killings and other violent crimes that we are witnessing across the length and breadth of the country in the run-up to this year’s elections”, the statement, signed by the party’s National Chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, said.
The statement said: “Above all, the NDC recognises that it is God Almighty who chooses good leaders for nations; hence, the party shall be fasting and praying for a resounding victory for our flagbearer and parliamentary candidates in the upcoming elections”.
“As part of this programme, a prayer meeting will be held at the party’s national headquarters, on Saturday, 7 November 2020, and climaxed with a church service on the morning of Sunday, 8 November 2020 at the Royal House Chapel International in Accra”.
“We call on all officials, members, and sympathisers of the NDC, as well as the general public to participate in this all-important programme that will determine and shape the destiny and future of our beloved country”.
