Ethiopia's Election Under Fire

Ethiopia’s ruling Prosperity Party swept the parliamentary elections, winning 438 of 501 seats and securing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s likely five-year comeback. Despite a 94% turnout and international observers, the vote was marred by security chaos in Oromia and Amhara, where 143 polling stations shut down amid clashes with armed groups. Opposition figures were silenced through imprisonment, exile, or disappearance, fueling accusations of a rigged process. Meanwhile, Tigray remains excluded from the electoral process entirely — a stark reminder that hundreds of thousands still lack political representation after years of war and devastation.
