The months-long dispute between the National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has culminated in a decision to strip the political party of its federal recognition.
The decision, announced in a statement from the Board today, follows the end of a three-month suspension levied on TPLF for failing to hold a federally recognized general assembly and elect its leaders within the six-month window granted to it when it was officially reinstated under “special circumstances” in August 2024.
The statement issued today accuses the party of failing to “take corrective measures” during the suspension, and says the TPLF’s status as a political party has been revoked as of May 13, 2025.
How the decision will impact the Pretoria Agreement and the Tigray Interim Administration (TIA) remains to be seen.
