Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is expected to secure victory in Ethiopia's parliamentary and regional elections, supported by the economic record highlighted by his party.

With the opposition weakened and increasingly marginalised, and insecurity continuing to spread, many citizens appear largely disengaged from a vote whose outcome is widely perceived as a foregone conclusion.
