During the second congress of the Prosperity Party, Ethiopia's ruling party, Abiy Ahmed gained a substantial amount of votes and was re-elected as the president of the party.
The Ethiopian Prosperity Party congress also elected Temesgen Tiruneh and Adem Farah as Vice Presidents.
On December 1, 2019, Ethiopia's new Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who took office in April 2018, announced the formation of the Prosperity Party as the successor to the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front in an attempt to distance the country's politics from ethnic federalism.
