A vote count is under way in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, for the parliamentary elections after polls finally closed following a three-hour extension. Africa’s second-most populous country went to the polls on Monday but an opposition boycott, war, ethnic violence and logistical challenges overshadowed the vote in some regions. Voting was scheduled to close at 6pm (15:00 GMT) but was extended well past 9pm in many places.
