“Sahle-Work Zewde Approved As First Female President
Ethiopian Parliament has approved senior diplomat, Sahle-Work Zewde as the country’s first female President. Sahle-Work is presently United Nations under-secretary General and special representative of the Secretary General to the African Union. With this appointment, Sahle-Work automatically replaces MulatoTeshomeWirtu, who tendered his resignation to the parliament earlier on Wednesday.
According to Ehiopian Chief of Staff, Fitsum Arega, the appointment of a female Head of State, not only set the standard for the future but also normalizes women as decision makers in public life. He said this on his twitter handle.
In Ethiopia, the president’s post is a ceremonial one. The prime minister, who is the head of state, holds executive powers.
