Abiy Ahmed wins landslide victory in Ethiopian election

Second term for prime minister whose handling of Tigray conflict has drawn international criticism

Ethiopia's ruling Prosperity party has been declared the winner of last month's national election in a landslide, assuring a second term for the prime minister, Abiy Ahmed.

The National Election Board of Ethiopia announced on Saturday night that the ruling party won 410 seats out of 436 in the federal parliament, which will see some seats remain vacant because no vote was held as a result of unrest or logistical reasons.
