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.

  2. please stop woyane stogies don’t put isaias afwerki’s name here trying to confuse people he is doing outstanding job for his country honestly.

    you can’t get wrong with the following line up

    President: Dr. Birhanu Nega
    Vice President: Bertukan Medeksa
    Prime minister: Merara Gudina
    Defense Minister: General kamal Gelchu
    Minster of national Security: Ato Andargachew Tsige
    Minister of Information: sileshi
    Foreign relation minister: Professor Al Mariam
    Justice Human-rights minister: OBANG METHO

  4. 1. Dr. Brihanu Nega – President. He is a real statesman that has the capacity to handle the complex political situation in the country. He is also smart enough to handle Foggy Bottom, Downing Street, the Elyse Palace, China, and others. Moreover, he has good intentions.

    2. Bulcha Demekesa – Vice President: He is also another matured politician that really appreciates, and that can handle, the complex political situation in the country. His experience as a lawyer, a vice minister, a representative in the world bank, and as a founder of one of the largest private banks in the country – Awash International Bank – makes him a good candidate for the vice presidency. Success in your personal life tells a lot about your character and leadership quality.

    Birtukan needs to stay another 15 years to mature. She reminds me the film “accidental hero.” I laugh when foreign journalists who do not know her say she is charismatic and well read – really?

  5. You guys are dreaming, ofcourse you have the right to dream. Ethiopia will never be one again, unless some kind of Angel comes up from the sky.
    Look the following list, thanks for Woyanne
    -Eritrea is gone, will never come back
    -Ogaden rebels controls more than 80% their land.
    -Oromos never call themselves Ethiopian.
    – gambellas have a plan to join the S Sudan after their (S Sudan) libriation.
    – Some of the Shewa elites are now findout they were not Ethiopians in the past.
    -Tigray TPLF are looting Ethiopia for the prepration of the independant Tigray.
    – the list going on
    So, if you think I am dreaming , wait few years and see.

  7. 1.Dr. Birhanu Nega President
    2.Judge Birtukan Mideksa,V.President
    3.Ato Dawid Ibsa, Foreign Minister
    4.Ato Andargachew Tsige, Deputy Foreign Minister

    Degimo beles yeqenanan!

  9. Patriotism, intellect, articulation, good heart, commitment, fiscal experience and charisma points to Dr. Berhanu Nega and Judge Birtukan Mideksa for P and VP, respectively, of the Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (DRE).

    Feels good eah!

  15. 1. Dr Brhanu Nega: his deep knowledge of economics, great speach maker and politician makes him the best to fit the presidency

    2. Andargachew Tsege is a good fit for the Vis president

    3. Bertukan should take the supream court and election office to have justice in ethiopia and fair election for all ethiopians

    4. Elias Kifle should take the information minister spot

  17. 1/Birhanu Nega can be a wise choice for the president as he is most qualified in every aspect of leadership and experience
    2/Birtucan also would be suited for the veep post where she can get more experience sothat she can be prospect for the number 1 post in the future.I hope this combination will be remedy for our centuries long misery and also believe that we can make it
    May God Bless Ethiopia!!!

  39. No one.
    At least for now. No one beleived to be a true Ethiopian leader. If you ask the same question a year ago, you would have got a majority voice for Hailu Shawl. Look at him where he is now.

  43. President(Metto Aleqa Girma w/giorgis will be appointed for the third time.
    86 + 8=94.He will be then 94 year-old-man.
    Metto Aleqa Girma will be the oldest President in the world in the meantime.
    The next President will take oath in 2018, according to Woyane sources. That will be Azeb Mesfin.
    Perhaps she will be prime minister of Ethiopia. Meles will take the back seat as a President for the second time.
    Meles Daughter will take over her mothers role.
    In this regard, stop day dreaming.
    Everything has been set by Meles & Co.
    The names that are listed above specially #127 and #129 would not materialize. period.

    Wow what a beautiful combination of Ethiopians working together for the development of Ethiopia (instead of pillaging the country like the tplf/eplf merceneraries)

  48. Having nominated new generation post candidates, I am yearning for charges against the ethnic barbaric regime and its associates.
    The socalled EPRDF/Tplf ethno-centric party must be disolved and the war criminals, genocidees, humanity criminals respectively should face court trials.
    All political prisoners, ethnic cleansees, unjustly emprisoned should be set free.
    In its place a ” provisional government” for a duration of 18months should be declared.
    God save Ethiopia, don’t give up hope, stand up for your right.
    The Almighty god is with us.
    The enemies of Ethiopia will evaporate like a steam and wither away.
