The DP asked the spiritual leaders to pray for him and the Jubilee government amid widening rift between him and the president.
“I am challenging you to pray against the devil that is dividing the country along political and tribal-ethnic lines so that God may help us to stay put together.
You have a role to play in praying for divine intervention to unify the country ahead of the next General Election,” the DP said.
