Ethiopian Parliament to appoint Prime Minister on Monday

The House of People’s Representatives of Ethiopia (HPR) will appoint a Prime Minister of Ethiopia in a special session that will be held on Monday.

Based on Ethiopia’s Constitution, EPRDF, which has the majority seats in the Parliament, will present a candidate for the Premiership post.

The Parliament is expected to confirm the Premiership of the newly elected Chairperson of EPRDF, Dr Abiy Ahmed.

Dr Abiy will take office from the outgoing Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn.

Dr Abiy Ahmed was elected Chairperson of the EPRDF last Tuesday to replace the former Chairperson Hailemariam Desalegn who resigned on his own volition.
