The All-Amhara People's Organization or AAPO is an ethnic based political party in Ethiopia, created in 1993 by Asrat Woldeyes.[1]

Creation

The All-Amhara People's Organization was created by Asrat Woldeyes in 1993 to try to limit the domination of Ethiopian politics by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) that took power after the 1991 overthrow of the dictator Mengistu Haile-Mariam.[1]

2000s

After the 2000 elections, when the AAPO won only one seat in the House of People's Representatives, the party suffered from internal divisions after which the leader founded the All Ethiopian Unity Party (AEUP).[2][3]
