Prosperity Party

Ethiopia

The Prosperity Party (Amharic: ብልጽግና ፓርቲ; Oromo: Paartii Badhaadhiinaa PB, Somali: Xisbiga Barwaaqo) is a political party in Ethiopia established on December 1, 2019 as a successor to the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) by incumbent Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The merger into a countrywide party is part of Abiy's general policy of distancing the country's politics from ethnic federalism, and it will thus run for the first time in the 2021 general election.
