The Prosperity Party (Amharic: ብልጽግና ፓርቲ, romanized: Bilits’igina Paritī; Oromo: Paartii Badhaadhiinaa) is a ruling political party in Ethiopia that was established on 1 December 2019 as a successor to the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front by incumbent Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The merger into a countrywide party is part of Abiy's general policy of distancing the country's politics from ethnic federalism.[10] The party ran for the first time in the 2021 general election.
