Tigray Sets Conditions For Local Election Candidates
Tigray's federally appointed interim administration has issued new rules preventing individuals who participated in a previous war on behalf of a group it considers illegal from running for local administrative positions.
The regulations also require candidates to have no political affiliation, a condition that would exclude members of political parties, according to reports.
