Ethiopia’s Prosperity Party concluded its second congress in Addis Ababa, re-electing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and affirming its commitment to national advancement. The congress was attended by over 1,700 participants and focused on enhancing socio-economic development, unity, and preparing for upcoming elections. Abiy emphasized the party’s role in promoting peace and prosperity after a history of conflict.
Ethiopia’s ruling Prosperity Party (PP) has concluded its second congress, reaffirming its commitment to national development. During the three-day event in Addis Ababa, the party re-elected Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed as president and appointed Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh and Vice President Adem Farah as vice presidents. Abiy expressed a commitment to socio-economic transformation, stating that trust from his re-election motivates their forward momentum.
The congress, themed “From Pledge to Practice,” also saw the election of central committee members and included over 1,700 participants, highlighting significant unity among party members and allied entities. The party officially recognized the congress as a crucial milestone for Ethiopia’s political future, emphasizing their unwavering resolution to implement its resolutions strongly and effectively.
Abiy highlighted the PP’s influence in Africa, boasting 15 million members dedicated to peace and prosperity for all citizens. He announced the end of conflict, signaling a transition towards renewed hope and stability. The PP was established in December 2019 by merging three parties from the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) and other regional groups.
Following a decisive victory in June 2021’s general elections, where the PP secured a majority in the House of Peoples’ Representatives, the party is poised for the seventh general elections in June 2024. The congress reflected the party’s confidence and plans recalibrating its strategic vision for inclusive development across the nation.
The Prosperity Party emerged as Ethiopia’s ruling political force following the dissolution of the EPRDF in 2019. This significant restructuring came during a period of extensive political change in the country, aimed at promoting unity and stability after years of ethnic conflict. The PP focuses on nation-building, socio-economic development, and fostering a peaceful, prosperous society amid ongoing challenges.
The recent congress of the Prosperity Party marked a crucial development in Ethiopia’s political landscape, reinforcing the party’s commitment to development and stability under the leadership of Abiy Ahmed. The outcomes of the congress not only signify internal unity but also outline a clear vision for Ethiopia’s future as it prepares for upcoming elections. The party aims to leverage its substantial membership to foster socio-economic growth and peace throughout the nation.
