President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA has urged members of the Catholic faith and other Christian denominations to continue holding prayer vigils and praying for the nation as Zambia heads to the polls next week.
President HICHILEMA says Zambia is a Christian nation not only by constitutional declaration but also through its actions, values and enduring trust in God.
He says it is important to pray for the country’s continued peace, unity and stability, as well as for all candidates and stakeholders taking part in the electoral process.
President HICHILEMA says, as the nation prepares for the elections, it is vital to ensure the process is not only free and fair but, above all, peaceful.
According to a statement issued to ZNBC News by State House Communications Specialist CLAYSON HAMASAKA, President HICHILEMA said Zambia’s strength has always been rooted in faith, unity and a shared commitment to peace.
He also wished every candidate God’s blessings and a safe journey throughout the electoral process.
