PM Abiy Ahmed says Ethiopia will hold a parliamentary election in May or June despite security and logistical concerns
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, right, shares a light moment with Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed during their joint media conference at the Union Building in Pretoria, South Africa, Sunday, January 12, 2020.
His reform agenda has also stoked violence and highlighted ethnic divisions in the country of about 105 million people, and the election board said last June that the security situation could delay the 2020 election. Opposition politicians have warned against any delay in the election and critics have said that postponing the vote could cause an adverse social reaction, fuel regional conflicts and damage Abiy's democratic credentials.
"He is a good friend for both Ethiopia and Egypt, also as incoming AU chair he can make a discussion between both parties so as to solve the issue peacefully," Abiy said."I believe a solution is possible," said Ramaphosa.
