MADAGASCAR'S PRESIDENT ANDRY RAJOELINA SECURES THIRD TERM AMIDST CONTROVERSIAL ELECTION

0


Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina secures a third term, winning 59% of the vote in a contested election, marked by a historic low turnout of 46%. 

Ousted ex-President Marc Ravalomanana and Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko were defeated, with the opposition's boycott influencing the diminished participation.

Ten presidential contenders, protesting the election's credibility, withdrew from the race and urged against Rajoelina's third-term bid due to his dual French nationality. 

The constitutional court dismissed appeals to annul his candidacy, leading to a contentious election where withdrawn candidates still appeared on the ballot.

Despite gaining 14% and 12% of the vote respectively, Randrianasoloniaiko and Ravalomanana's impact remained overshadowed by the opposition's refusal to recognize the results. 

The constitutional court has nine days to confirm the electoral body's results, amidst lingering controversy.

The 49-year-old entrepreneur and former DJ, Rajoelina, previously secured the presidency in a 2018 run-off against Ravalomanana. His challenge now lies in addressing economic issues, with 75% of the population living below the poverty line, according to the World Bank. 

Additionally, he faces the task of bringing stability to a nation plagued by prolonged political turbulence.
