OFDM urges supporters to shun illegal activities, await election results patiently

Addis Ababa, June 10,2005 (WIC)-The Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement has called on its supporters to refrain from any illegal activities that would endanger peace.

In a statement it issued today, OFDM urged its supporters, in particular the youth, farmers and scholars as well as the people of Ethiopia to pursue their regular activities awaiting the final and official results of the election with patience.

It said OFDM would only seek solutions through neutral judicial bodies, if it believes the final result, which would be announced by the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia is unjust.

The consensus reached during the joint forum of the political parties held at the Office of NEBE to investigate the election complaints through the participation of foreign election observers should be respected, the statement underlined.

The Movement also said it will wait for the final results of the election with patience.
