Borkena said Ethiopia’s election board disclosed shortlisted National Election Board candidates

In June 2019 Borkena reported that a committee tied to Ethiopia’s National Election Board process had disclosed a shortlist of candidates, a procedural step in rebuilding election administration after years of disputed polls.

Credible election management was central to Abiy Ahmed’s early reform promise of competitive politics, so even a short shortlist announcement mattered as a dated marker of how the new board was being staffed.

Kept as elections archive, the Borkena note records the mid-2019 disclosure of shortlisted National Election Board candidates.
