The EPRDF Executive committee ended its first post-Meles Zenawi meeting yesterday around 10pm , sources disclosed.
The meeting, under heavy psychological pressure due to the public unity displayed during the national mourning for the late PM Meles Zenawi, deliberated on all major issues with an unprecedented level of unity. According to insiders, the meeting need not even vote on issues as it usually does. As members, in the meeting, reiterated, the party is indebted both to the late PM and the public to maintain the current national unity as well as deliver economic progress.
The executive committee has 36 seats, which is made of 9 representatives from each member parties – ANDM, SPDM, TPLF and OPDO. It couldn’t be confirmed as to who attended the meeting in lieu of the late Meles Zenawi, who was one of the nine members from TPLF.
However, the meeting was chaired by Acting Prime Minister and Dep. Chairman of the party Hailemariam Desalegne.
The meeting didn’t vote on a new Chairperson and Dep. Chairperson as that power belongs to the EPRDF Council.
The 180 members of the EPRDF Council are summoned to meet a few days after the Ethiopian new year – which is on Sep. 11. The Council will formally vote on the new chairperson.
It appears the party is bent on emphasizing the collective leadership and the role of the party, thus being the reason on further delay for parliamentary vote on a new Prime Minister.
Another reason for the delay in the past two weeks was that appointing a new PM would have stolen the media spotlight from the national mourning and the tribute to the late PM Meles Zenawi.

Dawit= Daniel for me ; they are both the name of the debteras”elits Of abeshshas”
why Abadula is sitting on the fron right corner on the EPRDF meeting? because he is as big as the people he is representing or because the top post is in his hand at this time or because he is going to be the next prime minster of Ethiopia? I think the chance is in his hand and his fellow Top OPDO leaders now. we will see if he will harvest the seeds of his political farm or will remain trashing the staw next time. By the way where is Bereket his revailar contender and opponent? please dawit tell as the truth not the lies as you have been doing so far!
God bless Ethiopia!
Meles is > all the excutive members added or multplied million times; let his sole rest in peace for ever! his loss is profound and hurting All ethiopian operesed natanalities including the tigrians; be aware of the sons of the Neftagns be it in the OPDO,or TPLF or SPDM or else where; the time of their return to power is net yet.
so now we need rational leader as that of Melse witout any baisdness towords Ethinicity and dead past folk tales of great Abysinia; Now Ethiopia ineeds renewal in every aspect; no false 3000 years history of the debteras. anyhow the permission of the Americans or thier Choise is also awaiated to nominate the would be prime minster; is’nt it? tele me Dawit!
