Addis Ababa (AFP) - Ethiopia's ruling party celebrated a clean sweep victory in parliament Monday with the announcement of last month's election results.

The Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) of Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn secured all 547 parliamentary seats, taking the one seat held by an opposition MP in the previous chamber, said Merga Bekana, chairman of the electoral board.
