Raymond Ranjeva and university professors longing for a recount of electoral ballots

The Special Electoral Court has, so far, been standing tall to pressure. The electoral judges have and are proceeding to assess hundreds of complains, prior to the release of presidential election’s final results. Jean Louis Robinson, the Opposition’s candidate declared to be bound to accept the Court’s verdict and its issued results. The judicial battle keeps developing in between. Raymond Ranjeva, law professor supportive of the political Opposition’s presidential candidate, declared what follows: “Protests and challenges massively stand by now up against frauds and dubious schemes on the brink of denying the Malagasy people credit and legitimacy required by the presidential electoral process to get widely accepted. Electoral commission officials, presidential candidates, various institutions and simple citizens massively voiced their rejection of these vote rigging schemes. Any settlement ever deemed to meet outright approval from the whole of the Malagasy people must be simple, fair and easy to comprehend to everyone. An eventual ballot recount has to be tackled, openly and not behind closed doors, before both presidential candidates’ envoys prior to the issue of any final result from the Special Electoral Court. The capitalization of such an operation requires devotion, patriotism, and fairness for national sake. As for this operation’s pending costs, they would certainly amount to peanuts when compared to the unholy high expenses consented during the electoral campaign.”
