ETHIOPIAN GENERAL ELECTION 2015 AWAITS FINAL RESULT

Ethiopian general election 2015 was held on the 24 of May 2015.

The election was the first general election held after the death of Meles Zenawi.

Unlike the other African nation election like Nigeria 2015 in March and April which held successfully and peacefully with results announced in 48 hours by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with headquarters in Abuja by the Chairman of he Commission - Prof Jega with General Muhammadu Bhuari as the winner of the polls from the opposition party APC .

The case of Ethiopian election 2015 official result will be announced on the 22nd of June 2015 but the preliminary results seem to confirm the popular consensus that these elections would further consolidate the power of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (the EPRDF) with Hailemariam Desalegn returning as Prime Minister.

The Ethiopian 2015 election is the 5th national election in Ethiopia. This election is the first election held under the the current prime minister Hailemariam Desalegn who took office in September 2012 under the demise of the late Meles Zenawi who had ruled for 21 years.

The 2015 election has come at a time when the Ethiopian economy has made great strides. It has archive the an estimated 10% growth, one of the highest in Africa. However, Ethiopian's human rights records is appalling, particularly poor is its lack of media freedom.
