'From Now On, Any Attempt to Seize Political Power Outside Electoral Process is Blocked', Says Ethiopia's President

In a statement on the results of the 7th national election, Taye Atske-Selassie emphasized that forces attempting to claim power outside the election must be returned to the proper legal path.

“If anyone tries to bypass the electoral process and legal channels, it will only lead to public suffering, chaos, and destruction; nothing gained in this way will benefit Ethiopia.”

The forces refusing to accept this are "merely a reminder of Ethiopia's modern political discourse and a cautionary signal," reinforcing that such attempts have no legitimate role, he added.

The African Union’s support to consolidate Ethiopia’s democracy will continue as planned, he noted.
