Ethiopia's ruling party has won nearly all seats in last month's local polls and parliamentary by-elections.
The country's electoral board says the Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) won 559 seats out of 623 districts, and won all but one of 39 parliament seats up for grabs in by-elections. The vote was marred by boycotts and accusations of repression. The largest opposition party in parliament, the United Ethiopian Democratic Forces, pulled out three days before the April 13 start of the polls. The Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement pulled out before a second round was held a week later.
