The CUD Council meeting ended today without deciding the question of whether to join parliament. The meeting will continue tomorrow.

Today’s discussion focused on the advantages and disadvantages of entering parliament. The council members agree to sleep on it and return tomorrow morning. As reported earlier, if either side of the argument doesn’t get a 2/3 majority after two attempts, a decision will be made by a 51% majority tomorrow.

The CUD chairman Ato Hailu Shawel implored members of the council to think of the wish of the people before themselves, the party, or any thing else. Other prominent members of the council, including Wzt. Birtukan Mideksa, Ato Lidetu Ayalew and Dr Berhanu Nega did not speak today.
