In 2014, he was elected as a member of the Ethiopian parliament, representing the Agaro electoral district in Oromia Regional State. Later, he also served as head of the Oromia House and Urban Development Office and as deputy president of the Oromia Regional State. On Monday, April 02, 2018, Abiy was sworn in as the Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

The Prime Minister was lauded for launching swift changes in the political space by implementing transformational moves that saw the end of twenty years of stalemate between Ethiopia and Eritrea, the release of thousands of political prisoners, the lifting of a ban on political parties and persons who were barred from entering the country, and the opening up of political space in the country. On October 11, 2019, Prime Minister Abiy became the first Ethiopian leader to win the Nobel Prize for Peace for his bold decisions to end the decade-old “no-war, no-peace” situation between Ethiopia and Eritrea, for his constructive roles in brokering peace among East African countries, and for championing democracy locally.
