Why is Ethiopia’s election taking so long?

Africa Daily - A podcast by BBC World Service

Ethiopians who didn’t get a chance to vote in last June’s election get their chance this week. At the time it was argued that logistical and security issues made it difficult to hold elections in many regions. The authorities however continue to say that some regions cannot provide sufficient support to the electoral process and therefore won’t be taking part this week. And some opposition parties are now saying they won’t be taking part at all -- claiming that the result is a foregone conclusion. In the next episode of Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja looks at what this means for the incoming government.Host: Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja on Twitter) Guest: Haymanot Bejiga, BBC journalist in Nairobi
