Mr. Mare Siko and Nacho bora came in third and fourth with 122 and 110 votes, respectively.
Three candidates, Dube Sago, Sambato Gubo and Abraham Wolde, were mentioned but appeared to have withdrawn.

Congratulations to mr Nane hasse for Democratic transition of power
It’s much better if we elect as leader some one has voice in government or someone known as by politics or education level because he will be voice for voice less as a leader
