Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s Prosperity Party has secured another parliamentary majority in this month’s general elections, according to results announced by the country’s election board on Sunday.
The ruling party was widely expected to dominate the polls against a fragmented opposition.
Abiy, who came to power in 2018 following mass protests against the long-ruling Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front coalition, established the Prosperity Party the following year.
The party also won more than 90% of the available seats in the 2021 parliamentary elections, extending its dominance in Ethiopian politics.
