Abiy Ahmed's Prosperity Party Wins 90% of Seats in Election

The Prosperity Party, led by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, has won a decisive victory in the recent parliamentary elections, securing 90% of the available seats. The results were released by the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia on Sunday.

This election victory comes in the context of a fragmented opposition landscape and follows Abiy's rise to power in 2018 after widespread protests against the long-standing rule of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) coalition. The Prosperity Party was established in 2019 as part of Abiy's political reforms aimed at addressing the demands of the populace.

The latest electoral success reinforces the party's strong grip on power, having previously won a similar majority in the 2021 parliamentary elections.
