Closer Look for Coming
Election!
|
 |
|
|
|
Thijs Berman, chief observer of the European Union
Election Observation Mission to Ethiopia (right,
holding up a piece of paper) caucuses with Agnes
Doka, press officer, and Tony Reis, deputy chief
observer of the EU. Their short talk allowed them to
coordinate the information to be parlayed to the
local and international media waiting to inquire of
the team’s activities during and after the election.
The conference, held at the Hilton Hotel on April
16, 2010, conveyed the team’s observation and
analysis criteria. The degree of freedom of
political parties and candidates to assemble and
express their views as well as the degree of
impartiality shown by the Electoral Board are
factors that will be considered, Berman told
Fortune. Fairness in access to the state’s
resources, private and particularly state media;
respect for the universal freedom of voters; conduct
of polling stations, and the vote counting process
of the votes are the major assessment criteria the
EU observation team will focus on, according to the
chief observer. No other observer, beyond this trio,
is allowed to make comments or give official
statements to the media regarding the process of the
election.
