With the general elections in Malawi scheduled for 16 September, the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) has issued a prayer alert, urging its member churches and partners to seek God’s intervention for a peaceful, fair, and transparent electoral process. The elections will determine the nation’s president and members of the National Parliament.
In his message to the church-at-large, Rev. Dr Fidon Mwombeki, general secretary of AACC, wrote, “We know how elections can be emotive and elusive in our continent, where those who have lost often do not accept losing and winners are not magnanimous and courteous in winning. Such scenarios sometimes lead to disruptions and needless violence causing sociopolitical instability and economic downturn.”
Mwombeki further exhorted partners and churches worldwide to pray in the spirit of James 5:16: “Pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
