Addis Ababa, June 23, 2021 (Walta) – The federal and regional security agencies have lauded stakeholders who have contributed their fair share for the peaceful conduct of the 6th general election in Ethiopia.
The federal and regional state security agencies congratulated all Ethiopians for the successful conclusion of the election.
The release from security agencies said that the event was a milestone in ensuring the security of the people and country as well as national interest by moving into a new chapter.
The participation, commitment, patience, and cooperation of the voters have also greatly contributed to the success of the election, it added.
The security institutions in Ethiopia have exerted efforts to serve all competing political parties and individual candidates equally on the principle of impartiality, the statement said.
This principle of impartiality has significantly contributed to the smooth running of the election without any major security concerns, it added.
According to ENA, the preventive measures undertaken during the preparation period by the security institutions to control the activities of anti-peace and terrorist elements have greatly contributed to the peaceful conclusion of the election.
Furthermore, the statement underlined that the system introduced by the National Electoral Security Strategy that operates under the auspices of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to coordinate the manpower and technology of the security institutions have played a great deal of role in the effectiveness of activities in the security institutions.
This kind of coordination will be scaled up in the future as the federal and regional security agencies have gained experience to ensure lasting peace and security, it was indicated.
