B'aden's rejection of power parity / equality with OPDO to install senior / junior relationship with unequal power - was it wise and can it be reversed?



B'aden ብአዴን disturbed its power parity with OPDO when they agreed to accept a lower %age of power. Will the pecking order ever be readjusted?



B'aden ብአዴን (Amhara PP) decided to disturb the parity of power they had with OPDO (Oromia PP) when they agreed to accept a lower percentage of power than OPDO in the new Prosperity Party. Ethiopian political pecking order changed only 3 times in the past half century. It seems that it takes decades to change political pecking order.

The conflict in Amhara Region is understood by many as Amhara PP's attempt to force Oromia PP to renegotiate the pecking order in the Oromara alliance. Will the pecking order ever be readjusted? Would it take the customary decades for the pecking order to readjust?

OPDO and B'aden had equal percentage of power in EPRDF (25% each). Only God know how OPDO convinced B'aden to willingly accept a smaller percentage of power than OPDP in the new Prosperity Party. I am a history buff, but I have never heard a political group has willingly accepted a smaller share of power . One thing's sure, we all know OPDO never used force / war to force / convince B'aden to go down from equal share of power to something below equal share of power. It is mind boggling!

A political pecking order is a social construct that describes how people or things in a group or organization are ranked in levels of importance or status.

Everyone of you who replied to this post have lost the core idea of it.

This thread is just an under title of that amazing revelation.

Only sarcasm has some of the ingredients of the main point here when he wrote "እኛ በመጣንበት አመጣጥ አትችሉም" which is the central message here, even when he conveniently ignores the glaring fact that neither OPDO nor BEADEN had anything near 25% share of the power, in which case TPLF was also to be said had just 25% of the share, if at all, which was then only on paper. That is dishonest on his part.

Hi Defend,

I am referring to the period of time from 2018 when Abiy was elected PM. From that time they both had equal share of the power. Why did B'aden willingly accept a smaller percentage of power than OPDP in the new Prosperity Party?

Why did they want to disrupt the parity and accept a smaller share of power than OPDO in the new party?

Yes it was wise no need to reverse it = 7%

No it was not wise and it cannot be reversed = 86%

No it was not wise and it can be reversed within 1 year = 0%

No it was not wise and it will take many years be reversed = 7%


It is a skewed poll result just like most of Mereja forum polls. Could those who said 'it cannot be reversed' explain why it cannot be reversed? Politics is the art of possible.
