Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s ruling Prosperity Party has secured a landslide victory in the country’s parliamentary election, winning a significant majority of the contested seats. Despite the decisive win, the election was overshadowed by the exclusion of millions of voters. Ongoing conflict, security concerns, and logistical challenges prevented voting from taking place in several regions, including the war-torn northern Tigray province and parts of Oromia, raising questions about the nationwide inclusivity of the vote.
- The Prosperity Party won 410 out of 436 parliamentary seats, securing a new five-year term for Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
- Voting was delayed or cancelled in about one-fifth of the country’s constituencies due to security threats and logistical issues.
- No voting took place in the Tigray region, where an ongoing military conflict has displaced millions and caused a severe humanitarian crisis.
- Several prominent opposition parties boycotted the election, citing the imprisonment of their political leaders and government crackdowns.
