Ethiopia's electoral board said Thursday that twice-delayed national elections would be held June 21, kicking off a fresh countdown towards a major test of democratic reforms under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The new date was revealed at a press conference by electoral board spokeswoman Solyana Shimeles, who addressed the media in Amharic.
