Ms Hall and eight other Members of Parliament were in Ethiopia to observe on election day itself. They visited a number of polling stations throughout the country.
Commenting after the visit, Ms Hall said:
'We received a warm welcome from the Ethiopian people and the general impression we received was positive. These elections were conducted in a peaceful manner and represent an important step forward in the democratisation process of Ethiopia and in raising respect and awareness of human rights.'
