Polls opened in Ethiopia on Tuesday for parliamentary elections. Abiy Ahmed’s Prosperity Party expects a landslide victory. According to Deutsche Welle, the party is running unopposed in several constituencies.

Opposition parties have criticized the elections as even less open than previous votes. They complain about a lack of equal opportunities and restrictions on political freedom. The elections are seen as a test for the country’s stability after the civil war in the Tigray region.
