Turnout was reported at 95.7%. Tigray, 38 seats, did not vote at all. Guess the ruling party's share of parliament, then test how far its majority could fall.
A majority needs 274 seats. Move the slider to hand seats from the Prosperity Party to its rivals and see when it falls below the line.
Even if rivals had won every one of the 61 unfilled seats, the ruling party would still hold 438 of 547, or 80.1%. It takes a swing of 165 seats from its 438 to put it below 274.

The Tigray gap is now moving. According to Wikipedia, citing The Reporter (16 Oct 2026), a new interim regional administration has been set up there, with a NEBE-supervised regional election intended by April 2027. Until then, the region's 38 seats stay empty.

| Ruling party, share of all 547 | 83.5% | 80.1% |
| Seats with no vote on the day | 74 | 61 |
Derived shares are my arithmetic from the seat counts. Party vote shares for 2026 were not available in the sources I could open; for 2021 the ruling party took 89.18% of votes (30,018,782).
The German broadcaster DW, reporting via AFP and Reuters on 21 June 2026, said the Prosperity Party ran 461 candidates against 293 for the best-represented rival, Ezema, and stood unopposed in 64 constituencies. More than 40 parties ran, most without funding.
