The parliament has 547 seats, whereas the regional council of Tigray will have 152 representatives; Somali, 273; Oromia, 537; Amhara, 294; SNNPR, 348; Addis Abeba, 138; Dire Dawa, 189; Harari, 36; Gambella, 156; Benishangul-Gumuz, 99; and Afar, 96.
Close to 2,000 people were deployed for the data collection in the regions covering the kebeles and weredas.
