[Full list] EPRDF's Council – Who's in, who's out | Metekakat review

Here-under, in the first table, I will simply list the current 180 members of the EPRDF Council as well as changes their membership status.
The second table presents the list of those who left the EPRDF Council last month.

The EPRDF (Ethiopian peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front) has three main tiers of leadership that is the EPRDF Congress, the EPRDF Council and the EPRDF Executive Committee. Similarly, its four member parties – SEPDM, ANDM, TPLF and OPDO – have their own leadership organs which are named Congress, Central Committee and Executive Committee.

Many find the structure “perplexing”.

That is why – in the first part of this series – I described how one gets elected to each level. [Read: EPRDF’s leadership structure & election | Metekakat review (click here)]

The second part of this series listes those who left from the inner most circle the EPRDF executive committee in 2010 and 2013. [Read: EPRDF’s Executive – Who is in, who is out | Metekakat review (click here)]

You can also get a grasp of what Metekakat (the 3-phase plan to transfer power to a “new generation” of leaders by 2015) means – or is understood to be – in the previous two parts of this series.

Thus, here-under, in the first table, I will simply list the current 180 members of the EPRDF Council as well as changes their membership status.

The second table presents the list of those who left the EPRDF Council last month.
