On July 8, the NEBE released the first official results for 307 of the 547 national parliamentary seats.
Of the 307 seats, the EPRDF had won 139, while CUD and UEDF won 93 and 42, respectively.
Smaller parties and independent candidates won the remaining 33 seats.
However, Berhanu Nega, vice-chairman of the CUD, had criticized the process on July 20, claiming that "The investigation process was a complete failure.
Our representatives and witnesses have been harassed, threatened, barred and killed upon their return from the hearings."

Meanwhile, the NEBE investigated voting fraud and other irregularities, while also arranging new polls to resolve some disputes.
On August 9, official results were released, acknowledging that the ruling EPRDF had won 296 of the total 524 seats — about 56% — enabling it to form a government, while its allied parties won 22 seats.
The UEDF won 52 seats.
Berhanu said his party, which had officially won 109 seats, was debating whether they would challenge the results in court.
Repeat elections were scheduled for August 21 in 31 areas where either irregularities were reported or results were challenged.

Opposition parties had decided to boycott the related August 21 elections in the Somali Region.
The CUD withdrew 10 of the 17 candidates it was fielding in Somali region, while the Western Somali Democratic Party, the Somali Democratic Alliance Forces and Del Wabe People's Democratic Movement who had planned to field 43 candidates for the Federal Parliamentary Assembly and 273 candidates for the regional parliament in the regional capital of Jijiga, also announced that they would boycott this election.
