People across the world believe in different religious faiths. Some believe in Christianity, some in Islam whereas some believe in Hinduism. Most Indians are the ones that have laid their faith in Hinduism, with some of them believing in Islamic religion. But now, are there any Indians that believe in Christianity? Well, maybe former Embakasi South Member of Parliament Irshad Sumra does!
On Sunday, the ODM Party held special prayers for Sumra at Christ the Cornerstone Church in Kwa Reuben slums, next to hope centre in Embakasi South Constituency.
This follows the upcoming by-elections in the region following the nullification of Wiper’s Julius Mawathe election in a petition filed by Sumra at the Supreme Court.
The Party also hinted that it would be gearing up for the by-election. Members of Parliament, MCAs and Party officials attended the prayers.
Today we shall have special prayers for Hon. Sumra at Christ the Cornerstone Church in Kwa Reuben, next to hope centre in Embakasi South Constituency as we gear up for the by-election.

However, Kenyans on twitter did receive the message as per the expectations of the party. They faulted the party for forcing leaders on them, with some questioning if by any chance party nominations were not going to be held.
ODM lost dignity when it denied her followers an opportunity to choose the leaders they want but instead pushed leadership sycophants down the people’s throats. Nothing like prayers, just do things right.

Is there no nomination to be done by the residents? We might be having another favourite candidate as the party supporters

Some laughed out at the party for holding special prayers in a church, to a Hinduism believer. Another KOT accused the party for hypocrisy, quoting an incident when ODM condemned President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto’s prayers during last 2017 polls campaign.
Sumra doesn’t worship same God as you do.Ask him and he will tell youHinduism.
