ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Ethiopia's ruling party won all 31 seats being contested in repeat elections following fraud allegations, according to provisional results released Friday.
Even before Friday's announcement, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi's Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front had claimed the right to form the next government following elections for the 547-seat parliament that were fraught with post-poll violence and fraud allegations.
"The board will approve the results on Monday but provisionally all the reruns have gone to the ruling party," said Getahun Amogne, spokesman for the National Electoral Board.
