THE NEBE SHALL MEET THIS FRIDAY TO DISCUSS UDJ

From reliable sources in Addis Ababa, the National Board of Electoral Election (NEBE) will meet for the first time on Friday August 8th 2008 to discuss about the application for party registration that Unity for Democracy and Justice Party (UDJ) submitted

It is to be recalled that the registrar of the NEBE has asked for 10 minor corrections to be made on the applications. The UDJ then resubmitted the application making appropriate corrections on items that needed to be corrected and more clarifications on those that were not corrected.

The issues of using the name "Andenet (Unity)" as a single word and putting the green-yellow-red color on the party logo were two of the ten items that were flagged by the NEBE's registrar.

The UDJ in its re-submission did not make any changes on these two items. However, It attached more addendum that makes the legal argument to why using the name "andenet" as a single word and the green-yellow-red color on the logo, do not violate guidelines and statutes of the NEBE.
