Addis Ababa — HornCurrent.com | August 2, 2025
The ruling Prosperity Party’s Executive and Central Committee meetings are officially scheduled to open today, August 2, in Addis Ababa. The highly anticipated session will focus on the country’s current security and economic challenges, with senior party officials expected to deliberate on key policy adjustments and organizational performance ahead of the upcoming national elections.
According to party insiders, leadership reshuffles may be on the agenda, particularly in regions where performance has lagged or public dissatisfaction has grown. The meeting is viewed as a crucial moment for the Prosperity Party to realign its leadership and strategies in preparation for Ethiopia’s next electoral cycle.
Crisis in Somali Region Draws Federal Attention
This pivotal gathering comes at a time when the Somali Regional State is facing a deepening leadership crisis. More than 60 respected community elders from the Somali Region have traveled to Addis Ababa in recent days to present formal complaints to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the Prosperity Party leadership.
The elders reportedly raised serious concerns about the region’s governance, public trust, and deteriorating administrative cohesion. According to sources close to the delegation, the elders met with Adem Farah, Vice President of the Prosperity Party, who confirmed that the party will give serious consideration to their proposal, which includes calls for leadership change in the Somali Region.
Anticipation Builds Ahead of Election Season
With national elections approaching, the Prosperity Party is under increasing pressure to demonstrate responsiveness to both public grievances and internal accountability. Analysts believe that today’s meeting could serve as a turning point in addressing regional tensions, security lapses, and economic stagnation in parts of the country.
Whether the outcome will bring tangible change remains to be seen, but expectations are high among both political observers and concerned citizens.
