The ex-General Manager of Ethiopian Television & Radio Enterprise, Selome Tadesse, is on her way to becoming the first woman independent candidate in the general election on 24 May. She collected over 5,000 support signatures, more than four times the minimum needed to register with the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE), and will run in the Bole District constituency, an industrial sector which includes Addis Ababa International Airport. Well-known internationally as she was the spokesperson for the Ethiopian government during the war with Eritrea, she founded the Network of Ethiopian Women’s Associations (NEWA) which brought her a certain degree of recognition in her country.

She studied journalism at Lenin University in the former Soviet Union, followed by a BA in international relations from Mount Holyoke College (Massachusetts, USA). Of Tigrayan extraction, shortly after the change of regime in 1991 she was made press advisor to the Ethiopian ambassador in Washington, Berhane Gebre Christos, who is the present Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (ION 805). She also owns a stake in Raya Brewery SC.
