The National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) has announced that it has made decisions in accordance with Proclamation No. 1162/2011 and the obligations of the parties.
The National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) has announced that it has been verifying that the parties registered and in progress in accordance with Proclamation 03 of the Proclamation 1162/2011 and the obligations of the parties are fulfilling the requirements set out in the new proclamation.
In this process, the full text of the decision of the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia is as follows:
1- All political parties are requested to submit their requirements in writing and to provide the additional signature number to be provided. Accordingly, 26 parties that did not submit their required documents have been canceled.
2- He took samples of the founding members and screened the founding members in all regions and woredas. The work was carried out by the Regional Branch Offices of the Board. Problems with this process
• Incomplete information (name of unknown woreda, incorrect woreda, kebele, etc.)
• The verification process took a long time due to lower level management data handling problems (ID number, house number information incomplete)
• Problems of not providing information in a short period of time when there is a lack of information by the parties
• Lack of staff due to Covide 19 epidemic: Inability to complete the board as quickly as possible
As a result, the vetting process took a long time, and the results of the vetting process did not go as planned by the Board. In the case of administrations such as Addis Ababa, which could not verify the signatures of the founders, the signatures of the parties were considered valid.
Based on this, it decided to approve the registration of more than 35% of the founding parties, and it decided to cancel the registration of various parties that had less than 35% valid signatures and did not meet the requirements of the Board. In this regard
