Vote for Ethiopa’s next president

Posted on , Updated on by Elias Kifle

If the upcoming elections in Ethiopia were legitimate, and there is a presidential system (instead of the current fake parliamentary system where the prime minister is a dictator), who would you vote to be next president and vice-president of Ethiopia.

Please post your suggestions below with detailed explanations. The top 10 names that are nominated by readers will be voted on after one week of collecting your suggestions.

This is not expected to be a scientific poll, but it will be a valuable information as to which current political leaders are viewed most favorably by the people of Ethiopia.

  3. I would vote for Elias as a president and vice-president.
    A poor country like ethiopia could be lead by one person, so we do not need to vote for vice-president, but presidnet and his wife could govern the people.
    Like Mengistu and his wife, Melese and his wife, and Hileslase and his wife.

  9. president J/Daud Ibsa or Dr. Merera Gudina

    vice president bulcha demeksa
    secretary of state Hasan Ali
    defense minister kamal Gelchu

    we must vote for these ppl if not there will never be peace in Ethiopia.

  17. Elias, first of all thank you for providing this forum to express our choice.

    My choice would be Dr Eleni Gebremedhin for president because what Ethiopia now needs is a world class economist, and Dr Alemayehu G. Mariam vice president. For once let Ethiopia be governed by educated people.

  25. president: Dr Berihanu Nega
    vice president: Bertukan Medeksa
    So far these two qualify for any gov’t positions in our country. They are true leaders for the people by the people. The rest are all fake political leaders. In one way or another, they stand for themselves not for the people of Ethiopia.

  28. I think, we need the most exprienced and rich man to lead this country…Because,a Rich president is not rushing to steal the property of the people( as Meles and Azeb did),

    For this to happen; I prefer:

    1.Bulcha Demeksa ..president,
    2.Birtukan Mideksa,, Vice president

    Bulcha Demeksa,,the founder and owner of Awash Bank,,is very experienced and rich man. And,I hope he will not be rushing to steal the property of the people if comes to power.
    Birtukan,the young,talented and the strong lady deserves the position of vice prisident and prime ministor..

    I pray and wish to see those thiefs( Meles and Azeb) will enjoying their remaining life in Kality or In Ziway or In Dedessa prison.

  29. President: Dr. Birhanu Nega
    Vice President: Weyzerit Bertukan Medeksa
    Defence Minister: General kamal Gelchu
    Minster of Security: Ato Andargachew Tsige
    Minister of Information: Ato Elias Kifle

  35. The only young, honest, credible and influential person in Ethiopia is now in Prison. If I can vote even for those who cannot run for it becase of imprisonment, I vote for Birtukan Mideksa.

  46. Here is the complete list
    1 berhanu -President
    2 Bertukan vice P
    3 Andargachew- state minister
    4 Dawid Ebssa minister of defence
    6 Ephrem- foreign minister
    7 Elias kifle etamajor shum ( chief of staff
    8 lij tekele ( patriarich)

  50. I wish for Iseias Afwerki, but that’s not possible, the reason is because i heard him talking in his interview. God he so powerful man we need someone like him to change our beautiful Ethiopia which lost almost 20 years ago with this new Useless woyanes.
    “eritrean people you are so lucky to have him”

    so i vote for Elias
