List of governors of the regions of Ethiopia

This article lists the governors of the regions of Ethiopia, the twelve ethno-linguistically based regional states (plural: kililoch; singular: kilil) and chartered cities (plural: astedader akababiwach; singular: astedader akabibi) of Ethiopia (officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia), formed within the system of ethnic federalism. The regions replaced the provinces in 1992[1][2] under the Transitional Government, the change which was formalised when the 1995 Constitution came into force.[1]
