Africa-Press – Tanzania. RELIGIOUS leaders from Tanzania and Kenya are set to unite in special intercessory prayers for Tanzania that aim to safeguard peace and stability as the country heads for the General Elections in October this year.
The clerics from the East African neighbours; Kenya and Tanzania, said today, April 25, that the special prayers will be conducted through a spiritual program known as Revival (Uamsho).
The prayers will be conducted by leaders from Tanzania’s Seventh-day Adventist Church in Kinondoni together with their Kenyan counterparts, Pastor Haron Muturi Mwangi, who said the week-long prayer sessions will focus on advocating peace for both Tanzania and Kenya.
He emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and harmony during the elections period.
Pastor Patrick Muthee from Nairobi and Pastor Victor Chihimba from the Kinondoni Seventh-day Adventist Church confirmed that the week-long prayers will be held from April 27 to May 3, 2025. They highlighted that the event will feature participation from religious leaders of both countries, reflecting the strong faith-based and brotherly ties that exist between Tanzania and Kenya.
Sadick Yonazi, one of the organizers of the program, noted that in addition to prayers and supplication, the event will include worship through songs and praise.
He encouraged Tanzanians to turn out in large numbers to join the spiritual awakening and pray for the country’s leaders, government, and the nation as a whole, especially during this critical time leading up to the General Elections.
In retrospect, Security and harmony must be maintained when the country heads for the General Elections, as suggested by the Chairman of Islaah Islamic Institute, Dr. Seif Sule, who said during his press conference in Dar es Salaam that Tanzanians must protect the country’s peace at any cost.
Dr. Sule, emphasized that Tanzania’s history with multiparty elections has shown political maturity, despite occasional minor challenges that have never threatened national peace.
He, however, expressed deep concern over the current political climate, stating that there are indicators suggesting a possible breakdown of national stability.
Dr. Sule urged Tanzanians to be cautious of political agendas driven by personal interests. He warned that some of the leaders who stir unrest have their families living abroad, while ordinary citizens bear the brunt of the chaos.
