Elections in 2013 : the inevitable call off

The National Electoral Commission and much more the financial backers were the main decision makers concerning this issue. Financial assets prove not enough to draw any electoral process to a decent conclusion. The local political class as a whole has not yet pledged an entire support to the current electoral process, let alone the International Community. The United States consequently refrain from granting any hazardous financial support. The decided postponement was however not transitional leader Andry Rajoelina’s deed considering that his attempt to cast the legislative elections before the presidential one fell through. His proposal got rejected by the aforesaid decision makers.
