Andinet Party collects required signatures

The Unity for Democracy and Justice Party (Andinet) has completed its signature collection project this week, according to the party’s North America support group.

Andinet Party had dispatched 70 high level delegates all over Ethiopia last week to collect a minimum of 1500 signatures that are required by the Electoral Board of Ethiopia to be registered as a political party.

It is reported that the delegates have collected some 5,800 signatures — well over the required figure.

The next step is to convene the party’s general assembly and elect its leaders.
