 Nyanza Clergy to hold interdenominational prayer for peaceful poll

MEMBERS of the clergy from various denominations are set to hold an interdenominational prayer early next month ahead of the General elections which is only a few days away.

The Clergy said it is very much in order to conduct prayers consisting of various denominations across the region with an aim of asking the Almighty God to offer peace during the electioneering period.

Led by the Nyanza Council of Church Leaders Apostle Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede, Bishop William Abuka and Arch Bishop Julius Otieno, the clergy have resolved to conduct the prayers on August 4, only five days to the General Election on August 9.

They say the venue of the prayers and other details will be communicated later.

They say so far various political candidates vying for various positions have been conducting peaceful campaigns across the country while seeking for votes ahead of the election.

“We take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to all the political candidates and members of the public who support various candidates for the very peaceful campaigns devoid of war and blood shade in our Nation of Kenya,” they say in a press statement.

The clergy have also thanked the security apparatus across the country and all other stakeholders working towards a free, fair and peaceful General election.

The clergy under the banner of “Azimio Clergy Network” who have declared their support towards the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance Presidential Candidate Raila Odinga are optimistic that he will win the Presidential race on August 9 poll.
