<p>MelanieWnn: </p> <hr /> <div>The June 21 election was the first time Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed had faced voters since being appointed prime minister in 2018&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ethiopia's ruling party won a landslide in a landmark parliamentary poll, results showed Saturday, ensuring a new five-year term for Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed despite a brutal war in the northern region of Tigray.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Abiy hailed the outcome of what he described as a &quot;historic&quot; election -- the first time he faced voters since being appointed prime minister in 2018 following several years of anti-government protests.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The winner of the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize had hoped to frame victory at the ballot box as a mandate for political and economic reforms and military operations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the poll was held in the midst of the gruelling conflict in Tigray that has battered Abiy´s global reputation and raised fears of widespread famine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His Prosperity Party won 410 seats in the federal parliament out of 436 where elections were held, according to results issued by the National Election Board of [https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/Ethiopia Ethiopia] (NEBE), which said there would be a rerun in 10 constituencies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The figures showed opposition parties and independent candidates won a small number of seats.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In a statement on Twitter, Abiy described it as a historically inclusive election, adding: &quot;Our party is also happy that it has been chosen by the will of the people to administer the country.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No caption&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The vote was meant to affirm a promised democratic revival in Africa's second-most populous nation, with Abiy vowing a clean break with repression that tarnished past electoral cycles.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The ruling coalition that preceded him claimed staggering majorities in 2015 and 2010 polls that observers said fell far short of international standards for fairness.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A more open contest in 2005 saw big opposition gains but led to a lethal crackdown on protests over contested results.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Twice delayed -&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This time, the polls were delayed twice -- once for the coronavirus pandemic, and again to allow officials longer to prepare.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nevertheless, voting did not go ahead in around one-fifth of the country's 547 constituencies because of ethnic violence or logistical problems. A second batch of polling is due to take place on September 6 in many of those left out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But there is no election date set for Tigray, [https://m.hotelinterpacific.com/ memek] where fighting marked by myriad atrocities raged for eight months before federal troops withdrew at the end of June in the face of rebel advances and Abiy's government declared a unilateral ceasefire.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The situation remains precarious in Tigray, with analysts warning of potential further fighting and some world leaders denouncing a &quot;siege&quot; blocking desperately-needed aid for a region where hundreds of thousands face famine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The World Food Programme said Saturday it was sending 50 trucks of aid into Tigray. It was not clear if it had arrived.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In some areas where voting did take place, opposition parties complained of a tilted playing field.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A camp for internally displaced persons (IDP) has been set up in the Tigray capital Mekele&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Abiy's native Oromia region, Ethiopia's largest, two of the most prominent opposition parties -- the Oromo Federalist Congress and the Oromo Liberation Front -- pulled out entirely, saying their candidates had been arrested and offices vandalised.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The most competitive regions were Amhara, the country's second-largest, and the capital Addis Ababa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tsadik Domoz, 34, an ethnic Amhara sesame farmer in Humera in western Tigray which fell under Amhara control during the war, said he was delighted with the result.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;We can't get anyone better than the PM at this time,&quot; he told AFP.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;He is the one who saved Ethiopia from the internal and external forces that tried to destabilise it,&quot; he said, referring to the Tigray People's Liberation Front and countries pressuring Ethiopia over its mega-dam project on the Nile.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Election day saw &quot;no serious or widespread human rights violations&quot; in stations observed by the state-affiliated Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But it also noted some constituencies experienced &quot;improper arrests&quot;, voter intimidation and &quot;harassment&quot; of observers and journalists; and said it had observed several killings in the days [https://sportsrants.com/?s=leading leading] up the vote in Oromia.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- 'Need to be heard' -&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The opposition National Movement for Amhara filed a complaint to the electoral board over &quot;serious problems&quot; during the vote.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;A lot of our observers were beaten and chased down by militias of the ruling party,&quot; senior party member Dessalegn Chanie told AFP.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Addisu Lashitew of the Brookings Institution in Washington said even low opposition representation in parliament could fend off future instability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;People, especially the youth, they need to be heard, so they should have a voice in the political process,&quot; Addisu said. &quot;Even if it may not be always successful in influencing political decisions, the fact that they are heard itself is important.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Incorporating opposition voices into formal political processes means they are less likely to become &quot;radicalised&quot; or spur a large-scale protest movement, he added.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tegbaru Yared, a researcher with the Institute for Security Studies, wrote this week that there remained &quot;deep political cleavages&quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Prosperity Party &quot;should focus on stabilising the country, stopping intercommunal conflicts, managing inflation, engaging the opposition and initiating an all-inclusive national dialogue,&quot; Tegbaru wrote. &quot;This could earn it popular legitimacy.&quot;</div>
