PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: Reports: In Madagascar, the campaign continues pending the results

 

Saturday, October 26, after the first round of the presidential election in Madagascar, the Independent National Electoral Commission for the transition (Cénit) began its painstaking count vote. The results come in dribs and drabs from 20,001 polling stations in the country. Sunday morning, only 500 polling stations had been counted. Maria Muniz de Urquiza, head of the election observation mission of the European Union, called Sunday's elections "free, transparent and credible."

Pending more accurate results, some 33 candidates continue to campaign tirelessly. So Saturday afternoon, Jean-Louis Robinson, officially supported by the ousted president Marc Ravalomanana candidate, held a meeting to "Magro" in Antananarivo. These wholesale stores, which belonged to the former president, was burned at the time of coup Rajoelina in 2009. For four years, supporters of Ravalomanana, who lives in exile in South Africa since his overthrow in 2009, have become accustomed to meet there.

Before his supporters, Jean-Louis Robinson has once again promised in case of victory, returning to Madagascar's ousted president. "Madagascar needs all his son. Currently, there are all the presidents except Marc Ravalomanana, "he has argued. According to him, a return of the former head of state "would show the wisdom of Madagascar." During the meeting, Jean-Louis Robinson has once again given voice by phone Marc Ravalomanana.

"Candidate proxy"

Another favorite of the election, Hery Rajaonarimampianina, more commonly called simply "Hery", also support as a political heavyweight. It is considered the foal interim president Andry Rajoelina. Hery regularly accused Ravalomanana of being responsible for deprivation of the country and calls Jean-Louis Robinson candidate by proxy. "It also has a database of the former president. So he used the database and it is she who voted, I think, for him intensely. I think this is a pro-Ravalomanana vote, "he said Saturday at FRANCE 24.

The Cénit has until November 8 to publish full provisional results. For the Big Island, a new democratic government is required to regain access to international aid, frozen since the coup of 2009.
