The Prime Minister's party, the Prosperity Party (PP), will receive close to 90 percent of the seats, the country's electoral commission said on Sunday.
The elections, held on June 1, took place in 501 of the country's 547 constituencies. No elections were held in the Tigray region, where a brutal war between local authorities and Abiy Ahmed's central government has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives since 2020.
Abiy Ahmed came to power in 2018 and received the Nobel Prize the following year for the peace agreement with neighboring Eritrea, but since then he has been criticized for his rule becoming increasingly authoritarian and violent.
Critics believe that elections in Ethiopia have never been free and fair in practice, with those in power always winning by a large margin.
