The opposition UPND is sending it’s Vice president for Politics Dr Canisius Banda to attend the National Prayers for Peace ahead of the elections next month called by President Lungu in Lusaka.
The party says it’s president Hakainde Hichilema and his running mate will be busy campaigning on Sunday, the day called for prayers but will be praying wherever they will be.
The UPND announced this in a statement below made available to Zambian Eye Thursday morning.
Earlier this week we were honoured to attend prayers for peace hosted by the Church and the Law Association of Zambia. UPND President Hakainde Hichilema who attended and led the UPND delegation once again called for peace and unity, condemning all acts of violence regardless of the provocation.
This Sunday 24th July UPND Vice-President for Politics Dr. Canisius Banda will lead the UPND delegation in joining the National House of Prayers in Lusaka for a service to pray for peaceful elections.
UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema will be touring in Southern Province on the 24th, while Vice-President for Administration who is also the UPND running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba is scheduled to be in Northern Province.
But regardless of their location they will be joining us in prayers on this matter of national importance, as they have done in the past. We will be praying also for justice for those who have been victim of acts of electoral violence and their families.
God bless.
Stephen Katuka
UPND Secretary General
Why even send a representative to a sham event?
That’s a great move so that ECL will have NO excuse.
GBM in NORTHERN HH in SOUTHERN.
God Loves the UNITED ZAMBIA.
How you say,you love God and yet you want to teach southern a lesson.
Good move UPND , what is there to pray for? You go to attack people in houses, shame, you go to attack chiwende GBM relatives, Lungu what has become of you? You have finished yourself. No one will vote you, only idiots will, sick and tired of you
What prayers when Lunga is killing innocent citizens.God is not mocked.
Thus wonderful and thus what we want as UPND, prayers without action from those in public offices is of no importance, therefore let the chief commander of the armed forces act now starting from his party and allow security wings to be independent. Dr Banda sir best wishes/////

I new that HH cant go for prayers?
What do you mean @chikubabe. Do’nt be a hippocrite. HH attended the prayer called by LAZ and you were quiet and today you say he cannot attend??? What wrong with his Vice to attend that prayer meeting????
Chikubabe mean HH as head just joking cos as a treasurer of the freemasonry group in Zambia, he can’t attend. HH can only attend where people can’t actually pray but just walking in the streets of lusaka
It’s a good thing that Banda will be sent. It is only easterners who appreciate this level of hypocrisy of causing violence and then praying to God to stop it.
Iwe buck teeth you are stupid including your tribe
What is so special about prayers called by Lungu? As for me I pray always in my house. And when I pray I pray that not only will be done, but His will be done.
