“We accepted the public trust without being boastful about our success” — Prosperity Party

0

The National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) has released the verified and endorsed overall results of the 7th national general election, which was held on June 1, 2026. In this election, the ruling Prosperity Party achieved a major victory by securing a wide majority, winning 438 out of the 501 contested parliamentary seats for the House of Peoples’ Representatives.

When announcing the verified final results, the Deputy Chairperson of the Board, Tesfaye Neway, explained how the parliamentary seats were distributed among various political forces. According to the results released on June 21, 2026, although the Prosperity Party emerged dominant, several competing parties and independent candidates also managed to secure parliamentary seats.

Accordingly, Ethiopian Citizens for Social Justice (Ezema) secured 13 parliamentary seats through its high participation in various areas, while the National Movement of Amara won 6 seats in the House of Peoples’

Representatives from its contest in the Amhara region. Additionally, Medrek obtained 3 parliamentary seats in the Sidama region, while the remaining seats were distributed among other parties and independent candidates who competed across regions.

Following the release of the final election results, the Prosperity Party extended a detailed message of gratitude to the entire Ethiopian public. In its statement, the party emphasized that it accepted this grand victory not with arrogance and pride, but with a high sense of responsibility and humility.

“Prosperity Party accepted this great public trust without being boastful about its success,” the statement explained. “We maintain a firm conviction to fix our shortcomings, serve our people with sincerity, and prove our words through actions.”

According to the party’s statement, this 7th general election holds a meaning that goes beyond standard political competition. The election is a major historical milestone that shattered internal and external networks of dominance and practically highlighted Ethiopia’s sovereignty. Performed entirely using domestic capacity, this historic event was described as a source of pride and an example for the whole of Africa, as it asserted homegrown democracy and continental sovereignty.

Regarding future activities, the Prosperity Party stated that based on the new democratic and social contract granted by the people, the government will focus its attention on structural reforms and comprehensive economic inclusivity in the coming years.

The party announced its commitment to tackling pressing issues that reflect the public’s demands, such as easing the high cost of living, ensuring food security, and creating sustainable job opportunities on a large scale. Additionally, it stated that it will work to prevent corruption and bad governance by expanding the initiated “Mesob” one-stop service nationwide and modernizing service delivery through technology.

0

KEFI Gold and Copper Plc has announced that its subsidiary, KME Minerals (Ethiopia) Holding S.C., has appointed CBE Capital Investment Bank as adviser for a proposed issuance of U.S. dollar-denominated, gold-linked preference shares aimed at selected financial institutions in Ethiopia.

The announcement was made at the Ethio-British Business Investment Forum in London. According to the company, the proposed instrument — dubbed “Gold Preference Shares” — is intended to support growth in Ethiopia’s gold and critical minerals sector while also strengthening ties with major Ethiopian financial institutions.

KEFI said the preference shares would be redeemable at the end of an eight-year term and would carry an annual 15 percent coupon. Investors would also receive an additional return if the gold price received by KEFI exceeds the price prevailing at the time of issuance.

The company said the proceeds are expected to support expansion opportunities and future growth initiatives, with no dilution for shareholders at the listed parent company level.
