Today, Monday, parliamentary and local elections were launched in Ethiopia amid internal and regional challenges, including armed conflicts in multiple areas and restrictions on opposition parties. Despite expectations of a major victory for Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's party, the opposition faces divisions and declining participation. It is noted that 42 parties are competing for 547 seats in the federal parliament, with observers from the African Union and IGAD monitoring the process. Meanwhile, conflict-affected regions such as Tigray and parts of Afar are fully excluded from voting. The results are generally predicted to favor Prosperity Party significantly, despite ongoing security and political challenges in a country that has experienced continuous conflicts for years.
