Losing the party’s name to Ayele Chamiso’s group and its election emblem to Lidetu Ayalew’s (MP) party, the former Coalition for Unity and Democracy, which is now operating as two separate groups; one led by Engineer Hailu Shawl and the other by first vice president Birtukan Medeksa, has elected sixteen new members for its supreme council in the presence of nine out of fifteen executive committee members.
Sources told Capital that the sixteen new members of the supreme council include Professor Mesfin Woldemariam, who did not want to be part of any leadership and twelve Members of Parliament including Temesgen Zewidie (MP). According to the source, the four members, including Prof. Mesfin and Aserat Tase were elected out of twelve nominees presented from the Birtukan’s group and the MPs were nominated from the Temesgen Zewidie (MP) group, which is now participating in the House of People’s Representatives as parliament group after Ayele Chamiso won the legal battle for the name ‘CUD’.

Birtukan blew it again. So many mistakes in a short period of time and I don't think she will ever recover from this. And what happened to the idle Prof. Mesfin w/m? OH MY! But one thing is for sure, the Prof. finally has his revenge on Dr. Nega.

Just like Betinachew Tsige joined the Kinijit Laelay Mikirbet by "acclamation", in his own admission, but not by democratic election or nor by the rules and regulation (metetaderia denb) , Prof. Mesfin has also been "acclamated" by Mideqsa to join Kinijit Laelay Mikirbet. According to Kinijit Rules and Regulation, a Laelay Mikirbat member can only be chosen by the General Assembly (Teqlala Gubae).
Definition of Acclamation: an overwhelming affirmative vote by cheers, shouts, or applause rather than by ballot. Write comment
