In Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, it is hard to tell an election will happen on Monday that will decide the next five years of Africa's second most populous country.
A few people can be spotted wearing T-shirts with the wheat symbol of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's Prosperity Party (PP), but there are no election posters anywhere.
The party held its only major campaign rally in the capital on Tuesday. It was over by 8:00 am and Abiy, who has ruled since 2018, did not appear.
Few doubt he will cruise back to power with a landslide victory for the PP -- no doubt why it is not wasting time and money on campaigning. Online debates between candidates garner just a few hundred views.
Ethiopia's 130 million citizens are used to votes that look pre-determined.
