UPND declines to attend national prayers
The opposition UPND says it does not see the need to take part in the national day of prayer to be held on 24th July to pray for peaceful elections.
UPND Deputy Director for Policy and Research Joseph Lungu who is also in charge of the party’s fasting and prayer organizing committee says his party has issues with the national day of prayer because the people who are spearheading them seem to have some biasness towards the ruling PF.
Mr. Lungu says this is why the UPND finds it difficult to be part of such prayers.
He has told QTV news that his party also believes that praying is a continuous process that should not be done for convenience sake alone.
Mr. Lungu states that this is why the UPND has declared a 40 days of prayer and fasting leading to the elections on the 11th August.
He says the UPND is praying and fasting because it wishes to see the elections held in a peaceful atmosphere.
