Abstract : Ethiopia is well known by military rule (use of force) and no transition of power democratically (by the voice of peoples) made. For Ethiopia democracy is like a spontaneous and involuntary premature expulsion of non viable fetus or spontaneous abortion. The coming into power of EPRDF (mainly dominated for three decades by TPLF) was through destructive war that finally overthrows Derg; the uninterrupted bitter and peaceful struggle of young unarmed Oromo force weakened the TPLF which finally brought transitional government headed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. There was hope and optimism from Abiy Ahmed government, but the country back to square one, reports of mass arrest, abduction and rape mainly Oromo’s by military wing especially Western (Wellega) and Southern (Borena and Guji) part of Oromia. The study is about the merger of EPRDF into EPP and its impact on the constitution. The finding of the study discloses that to cling to power and rebuild the fractured EPRDF the government led by Abiy Ahmed dissolved alliance party and formed a national party called prosperity party. The finding of the study discloses that the national party (EPP) of Abiy Ahmed undermines the sovereignty of Nations, Nationality and Peoples, it empowers the privileged urban elite (Amharan’s) over the Nations, it privileges individual and undermines Nations collective bargaining competence, and further isolates, marginalizes and disempowers the periphery which all these are against the grand (Constitution) law of the country and created power vacuum in the country, mainly in Oromia region (stateless and lawless region). Abiy Ahmed pan national party nothing makes it different from the tyrant and dictator previous successive governments.
