The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has begun a three-day fasting and prayers for victory in next month’s elections.
“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 party said in a statement on Thursday to announce the religious rite.
It is scheduled to start on Thursday and end on Saturday, November 7 with a prayer meeting at the party’s headquarters.
On Sunday, there will be a church service at the Royal House Chapel International in Accra to climax the fasting and prayers.
The statement was signed by the National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo.
The three-day fasting and prayer is themed: ‘The Horse is prepared for the Day of Battle, but Victory is in the Hands of the LORD’, taken from Proverbs 21:31.
