And it is unclear if the Prosperity Party is removing him from his ministerial position as well. Rumor on social media has it that the Oromo region Branch of Prosperity Party is on the verge of a split over ideological line. As members of the former Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) and five other support parties in the regions merged to form a single party, Prosperity Party, the difference between Abiy Ahmed and his former boss Lemma Megersa came to the surface. In November 2019, Lemma Megersa declared his difference when he appeared on VOA Amharic.
