Oromo Democratic Party (ODP)

The Oromo Democratic Party (ODP) was a political party in Ethiopia representing the Oromo people, the country's largest ethnic group. It aimed to promote their rights, culture, and development within Ethiopia's federal system. The ODP played a significant role in national politics, especially after Ethiopia's 2018 political reforms, often collaborating with other parties. In 2019, it merged with other regional parties to form the Prosperity Party, seeking to unify various ethnic-based groups under a broader party framework. The ODP's activities focused on advocating for Oromo interests while contributing to Ethiopia's political landscape.
