From Zambia-
THE Church should unite this year and vote for the common good of the nation, says Fr Charlie Thomson.
Fr Thomson, who is dean of the Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross, said in an interview during Palm Sunday that Christians should demonstrate unity and vote for leaders that would further the development of the nation and engineer its progressive future.
“This is a time when we put our differences away, like we are gathered now. All political parties, all of our positions in the society, who we are should not matter. It is possible for us to have a variety of ideologies but still come together as one and vote in the common interest of the nation,” Fr Thomson said.
He said those that had registered as voters should not miss out on the opportunity to shape the development of the country.
“A vote is a voice. It’s not just to register but exercise your right to vote. There are many people that register but don’t go to vote. When you vote, whether you are voting for a political party or individuals, you will be voting for the common good of the country. You will be voting for the betterment of the lives of people, not looking at individual differences at this point. It is important to see a common good as the focus rather than to see ideologies just for one party,” he said.
