The National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, led prayers on Monday morning for Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The special prayer session, held at Dr. Bawumia’s residence in Accra, was to express gratitude to Allah and seek His blessings as Dr. Bawumia prepared to file his nomination forms at the Electoral Commission headquarters to contest for the presidency.
Sheikh Sharubutu led a group of scholars, both young and old, in reciting the entire Quran to invoke Allah’s mercy and favour. After the recitation, the National Chief Imam thanked Allah for Dr. Bawumia’s life and prayed for divine favour and grace ahead of the upcoming December presidential election.
In addition to the prayers for Dr. Bawumia, Sheikh Sharubutu also prayed for the continued progress of the nation and for a peaceful election process.
Later in the morning, a group of Christian clergy visited the Vice President to offer prayers for him as he prepared to submit his nomination forms. The pastors similarly prayed for God’s blessings on Dr. Bawumia and for a successful and peaceful election.
Dr. Bawumia expressed deep gratitude to the National Chief Imam and the clergy for their prayers, stating his satisfaction with committing the historic process of filing his presidential nomination forms to Almighty God.
By mid-morning, Dr. Bawumia, accompanied by his wife, Samira, his running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and his spouse, along with several leading members of the NPP, proceeded to file the nomination forms.
