Lopsided Votes Reported in Regional Councils for President

Reports indicate that voting within regional councils for the President yielded highly lopsided results in favor of the candidate. In the Oromia Regional Council, a total of 509 votes were cast for the President. Meanwhile, council members in both the Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa city administrations voted unanimously to support the President. These voting outcomes are part of the broader regional government formation processes currently taking place across Ethiopia. The figures highlight strong political backing for the executive leadership within these specific administrative regions and chartered cities. Further details regarding voting breakdowns in other regional states were not specified in the initial report.
