Ethiopia’s ruling party Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) will kick off its meeting today to elect new party chair.
The EPRDF Council is expected to pick new party chairperson, who will serve as the next prime minister as the outgoing Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn’s resignation was accepted by the party last month. During its meeting, the Council will discuss on reports of Executive Committee of the Front.
In addition to endorsing its new chairperson, the Council is also expected to elect members for vacant positions following the conclusion of the party’s executive committee’s meeting.
Finally, the Council is expected to pass decisions and put forth directions after deliberating on organizational activities and challenges.
