Addis Abeba – The National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) declined to reinstate Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) registration as a political party on grounds that it is not supported by the electoral law. In January 2021, NEBE cancelled TPLF’s as a political party citing the party has engaged in armed violence against the government; it also prevented TPLF officials from operating on behalf of the party. Furthermore, NEBE said that TPLF’s request regarding its decision on the party’s officials and its property were the outcome of the party’s cancellation by the board, therefore not qualified to be requested as new.
