“Political parties should understand and recognize the objective reality of the country and refrain from provoking dispute by recounting stories about the past,” he emphasised. Moreover, political parties should transcend the regions they represent and stand for the whole country, Premier Abiy said, adding that abiding by the constitution and the laws that emanate from it is mandatory. He expressed his belief that the discussion will have a paramount significance in conducting political activity free from conflict. The Premier finally called on all political parties to work together for the country regardless of their ideology and strategy differences. He called on the over political parties with similar ideologies to down size their number so that the public will not get confused as government can allocate adequate budgets.
