Wanga who was dressed in white attire, had started to pray, saying Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga and his deputy Kalonzo Musyoka, required God's guidance all along the petition process."Lord we call you to be present in that court because what we need is the truth and nothing but the truth. We kneel down here and we surrender Raila, Kalonzo and the Nasa team to you," she prayed.
The leaders had also attended a prayer service by the Repentance and Holiness Church Prophet David Odour, at Central Park.Nairobi police commander Japheth Koome had warned that Nasa would not be not allowed to hold the prayer vigil but the coalition reiterated the prayers would go on as planned.
