Ethiopia Polls: Opposition Cries Foul Over Abiy Ahmed's 'Pre-Determined Victory' | Firstpost Africa
Eight years after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed took power on a wave of democratic hope, Ethiopia prepares for a general election on June 1 amid deep political suppression and regional warfare. While the National Electoral Board highlights the participation of 47 political parties and nearly 11,000 candidates, major opposition groups allege rampant harassment, arbitrary arrests, and targeted disinformation. Critics say real competition is effectively non-existent, with the ruling Prosperity Party running uncontested in 64 constituencies. Moreover, conflict has fractured the electorate; voting has been entirely cancelled across Tigray following a brutal civil war that ended in 2022, while the Amhara region faces violent disruption from the Fano militia. As the TPLF sidelines the Pretoria Agreement and federal troops mass near the border, critics argue this election is less of a democratic milestone and more of a rubber stamp on a volatile one-party state.---
