The ruling party of Abiy Ahmed has secured a decisive victory in Ethiopia’s parliamentary election, according to official results.
The Prosperity Party won the vast majority of seats in parliament, giving Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed a strong mandate to continue leading the country.
Election officials said the vote was conducted across much of the country, although some areas were affected by security concerns and logistical challenges. Voter turnout was reported to be significant in many regions.
Supporters of the ruling party say the result reflects public confidence in the government's policies, including efforts to improve infrastructure, economic development, and national unity.
Opposition groups, however, have raised concerns about the fairness of the political environment, arguing that some parties faced obstacles during the campaign period.
The election took place as Ethiopia continues to address economic pressures, security challenges, and efforts to rebuild following years of conflict in several regions.
Political analysts say the victory strengthens Abiy Ahmed’s position and gives his government greater influence in shaping Ethiopia’s political and economic agenda in the coming years.
