Kinijit leaders will attempt to convene supreme council Sunday

The executive committee of the Coalition for Unity and Democracy Party (Kinijit) will attempt to convene the party’s supreme council again this coming Sunday.

Last Sunday’s attempt failed when a splinter group led by the estranged chairman of Kinijit, Ato Hailu Shawel, blocked council members from entering Kinijit’s official headquarters in Addis Ababa.

The executive committee is also in the process of replacing council members who have resigned or exiled with new members as required by Kinijit’s rules. Some council members who are currently in exile abroad have asked to be replaced. Kinijit executives are confident that this Sunday, the council will reach a quorum, allowing it to make decisions on how to move the party forward. Read more by zikkir News Service.
