The National Election Board of Ethiopia dismissed Tigray Regional Council’s request for the Electoral Board to assist the region in conducting its regional election. According to a letter from The Electoral Board, the dismissal is based on legality issues as the region lacks the right to conduct the election. In a letter sent today, the electoral Board stated that no entity other than the electoral Board is assigned to prepare, conduct and announce election results other than the Ethiopia National Electoral Board.
