Tigray: The report of the Organizing Committee of the 14th Party Congress of the TPLF was approved on Wednesday. The report was approved with only one abstention, it was said by Fetlework Gebregziaber TPLF Head of Office and Deputy Chairman.
The 14th TPLF Party Congress, which began on August 13, discussed the report of the Organizing Committee and approved various resolutions. According to the report submitted by the organizing committee, out of 950 delegates, 785 (83%) voters attended the session.
The organizing commitee claimed that party cadres in South Zone and Enderta woreda could not attend the party congress due to repression and pressure.
TPLF congress today gave final warning to the splinter faction led by Getachew Reda, the Tigray Interim President and TPLF Central Committee Member. It said, “The door is open for the members of the Central Committee who said they will not participate in the conference. They can correct their mistake and come to the conference and present their views.” Tigray Interim President, around a dozen central committee members and several cadres boycotted TPLF’s ongoing congress.
It remains to be seen if the dissident central committee members will be expelled from the party or not. On Tuesday, TPLF chairman Debretsion Gebremichael, addressing the congress, accused the splinter group of working to destroy the party.
