Analysis of Ethiopia's 2015 Elections


The January 2016 edition of Journal of Democracy published an article titled "The 100% Election" by Leonardo R. Arriola, University of California Berkeley, and Terrence Lyons, George Mason University. 

The authors concluded that "given the results of Ethiopia's 2015 general election, we cannot expect the transition from Meles Zenawi to Hailemariam Dessalegn to lead to political liberalization in the near or medium term."
