"We pray that only people who strive hard to lead a righteous life with fear of God are chosen.
We pray that these representatives will devote themselves to righteousness and justice.
They must be our representatives in the Parliament who reverberate the common needs and desires of the people; they must not be representatives of their political parties and their leaders.
We pray that the representatives will have a clear vision on common goals for the greater good which will eventually propel the State towards growth and development," said Vermini.
Vermini also prayed that the representatives do not stand for or work for implementation of plans that will cause division among the people.
"We pray that every citizen is allowed to vote fearlessly, that we will not be swayed by money and false promises.
We are all aware of the issues and problems that our society is facing today and hence, we must look for those candidates who show genuine interest in the issues and problems".
"May God's chosen people rule the country in peace," Vermini said.
