Ethiopian Review
July 25, 2005
The Coalition for Unity & Democracy’s spokesperson Dr Hailu Araya said yesterday that in the event the Election Board fails to properly count the people’s vote and declares EPRDF the winner, his party will go to court to pursue a legal recourse.
Asked if CUD will participate in the next parliament that will convene in September, Dr Hailu said that a decision has not been made on this yet. But he said the parliament may not convene in September because of the continuing process to resolve the disputes.
In the one-hour teleconference with Ethiopian Review and Tensae Radio, Dr Hailu said that the people Ethiopia need to be prepared to take constitutional and peaceful measures to make sure that their choice is respected.
The teleconference was attended by over 100 Ethiopians from the U.S. and Europe. Many of them had forwarded questions to the interviewers in advance.
Originally, CUD Chairman Ato Hailu Shawel was scheduled to appear at the teleconference, but he could not make due to a health problem.
The audio version of the teleconference will be made available shortly.
