The executive committee of the Coalition for Unity and Democracy Party (Kinijit) had made a second attempt today (Saturday) to convene the party’s supreme council at its temporary office, but could not hold the meeting because a quorum (31 out of 60 members) was not reached as expected. Only about 25 members showed up today. With 11 members who are currently abroad giving their consent, the executive committee could have went ahead with the meeting, but Judge Bertukan Mideksa, the acting chairperson in the absence of Ato Hailu Shawel, and the other members of the executive committee insisted that the organization’s rules must be strictly followed. Kinijit spokesperson Dr Hailu Araya said the executive committee will convene the supreme council again tomorrow (Sunday) and establish a quorum with what ever number of members present.
