Mekuria Haile is member of the executive committee of SEPDM and EPRDF. It has been rumored in the past weeks that SEPDM, Hailemariam's home party, had sacked Mekuria Haile. There was no official statement regarding that.
Mekuria Haile is the second executive committee member of EPRDF to be sacked in 2016. Two months ago, Zelalem Jemaneh, executive member of OPDO and EPRDF, was sacked and later detained.
The ruling party has decided to make a series of expulsions and reshuffle in the coming weeks. Source Daniel Birhane.
