As an institute which is endeavoring to be independent, it is clear that the Board is working to hold free and fair election,\u201d the head stated.<\/p>\n<p>The National Electoral Board of Ethiopia has recently announced that it was able to solve over 500 complaints out of the total 670 complaints of the political parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ethiopia.
