Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) has been re-elected as the President of the Prosperity Party (PP) during the party’s 2nd Regular Congress, which entered its third day today. The announcement came after an overwhelming majority of the 1,700 voting members cast their ballots in favor of Dr. Abiy, reaffirming his leadership of the ruling party.
In addition to Dr. Abiy’s re-election, the congress also elected two vice presidents: Temesgen Tiruneh and Adam Farah. Both leaders were chosen by a significant majority and took their oaths of office in accordance with the party’s bylaws, pledging to uphold the party’s principles and work towards its strategic goals.
The 2nd Regular Congress, which has drawn over 400 domestic and international guests, including representatives from 15 political parties worldwide, is a pivotal event for the Prosperity Party. It serves as a platform to review the party’s achievements, address challenges, and outline its vision for Ethiopia’s future.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who has led the Prosperity Party since its formation in 2019, has been instrumental in driving Ethiopia’s political and economic reforms. His re-election underscores the party’s confidence in his leadership.
The Prosperity Party, which replaced the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) in 2019, has positioned itself as a unifying force in Ethiopia’s diverse political landscape. The outcomes of this congress are expected to shape Ethiopia’s political trajectory, particularly as the country prepares for upcoming national elections.
