Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen highlighted the party’s efforts to create a more inclusive political environment and to reform laws and practices that were detrimental to Ethiopia’s progress.

He stressed the party’s commitment to fulfilling its promise of establishing free and independent democratic institutions.
To rectify historical fractures and resolve national issues that have not been agreed upon, the National Dialogue Commiss

Temesgen also highlighted the tangible results registered by the Homegrown Economic Reform, including the full implementation of the macroeconomic reform, food sovereignty, tourism development, Green Legacy Initiatives, and infrastructure expansion. The goal is to establish Ethiopia as a global economic powerhouse, he said, underscoring that the nation must leapfrog from conflict to development, prioritizing peace and prosperity over war.
To this end, the Prosperity Party is committed to working tirelessly to realize Ethiopia’s overall prosperity, he said.
