NDC holds 3 days fasting and prayers ahead of December polls

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced a 3-days fasting and prayer exercise for the nation ahead of the upcoming December 7 elections.

The event will begin on Thursday, November 5, 2020.

According to the party in a statement signed by its National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the selection of a leader for the country has some spiritual connotation, an avenue which can only be achieved with the guidance of God.

Therefore, the 3-days fasting and prayers is to seek “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.”

Prayer meetings will also be held at the party’s headquarters, on “Saturday and climaxed with a church service on the morning of Sunday, 8th November 2020, at the Royal House Chapel International in Accra.”

The event is themed, “The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory is in the hands of the Lord”- Proverbs 21:31.”
