President Sahle-Work Zewde’s Reluctance to Extend Term Spurs Resignation Speculation

October 6, 2024

blank(TH) –  Reports as of Saturday, September 25, 2017, suggest that she is considering resigning from her position as a nationalist leader, especially as her current term is approaching its end in October. Meseret Media has reported that the President has voiced her dissatisfaction with various facets of her role in recent months, particularly concerning the declining rapport she has encountered with the executive branch. It is expected that the executive body will be notified of her intention not to pursue re-election early in the forthcoming week.

In a related development, a recent update on their X (Twitter) account featured prominent artists such as Tilahun Gese, Teddy Afro, Ali Bira, and Mahmud Ahmed. During a rendition of his song “Silence is my answer,” Mahmud reflected on the human experience during challenging times, stating, “When a human being is upset, when time is pushing her like a human being, when there is no way to go, silence is the only hope.” He further commented in a written statement, “I tried it for a year.” This contemplation has ignited ongoing discussions regarding the President’s current situation.

The convergence of these events has sparked considerable public dialogue, as Mahmud’s sentiments resonate with the broader societal issues confronting the nation. The potential resignation of President Zewde, alongside the artistic expressions of discontent, highlights a period of uncertainty and reflection within the political arena. As the situation develops, the ramifications of these occurrences are likely to continue to captivate both the public and political analysts.

In response to the ongoing discussions, Mr. Fikadu Seboka, the head of the presidential office, has clarified the official social media representation of President Sahlework. He pointed out that while there is an official account for the President, the contentious article in question was disseminated via a personal account and does not represent the official viewpoint of the office. This clarification has prompted significant dialogue and interaction on social media, with many individuals expressing their perspectives on the challenges faced by the President.

There are signs that President Sahlework Zewde may be reluctant to pursue re-election as the nation’s leader. As her current term nears its end in October, reports indicate that she is considering stepping back from her role as a leading nationalist figure, which raises uncertainties about her future in governance.

According to reports from Meseret Media, President Sahlework has expressed her dissatisfaction with various developments concerning her role in recent months. This discontent seems to stem from her difficult relationships with the executive branch, which have fostered a growing sense of unease regarding her presidency and its overall trajectory.

The prevailing situation necessitates a reassessment of the future of leadership in the country, especially given President Sahlework’s apparent reluctance to maintain her position. This hesitation could signify an impending change in the political environment, leading both analysts and the public to reflect on the potential consequences of such a transition.

With the end of her term approaching, there is significant curiosity regarding the trajectory of these events and their potential effects on the nation’s governance. Stakeholders are particularly focused on the likelihood that this scenario might serve as a catalyst for meaningful changes within the political framework and the overall leadership hierarchy.

The unfolding circumstances have sparked a dialogue about the direction of leadership in the nation, highlighting the importance of understanding the broader implications of President Sahlework’s indecision. As the political landscape evolves, it is crucial for both citizens and analysts to remain vigilant in observing how these dynamics will shape the future governance of the country.

  1. If H.E. President Sahle-Work Zewde is retiring, it would be a well deserved one. She has brought grace to the office just like her predecessors since 1995. She is a few years younger than I am and have passed the mark well beyond the retirement age. You deserve it, Madam. Now go back home and be kept busy by your adoring grandchildren. I can tell you that you will never have a dull moment.
