Clearing for action for the headstrong Opposition ready and waiting to challenge temporary results issued as the outcome of the presidential elections' round two. One first demonstration mustered forces inside the Magro square in Behoririka. The former president' supporters' gatherings will from now on focus on the challenge of electoral results released by Beatrice Atallah and her National Electoral Commission.

The Opposition not remotely interested in the presidential election’s temporary results

The AVANA party, which has candidate Jean Louis Robinson’s allegiance, and the Ravalomanana political sphere, which recently appointed a certain Roland Ravatomanga as new delegation leader, are jointly getting a move on. As raised by the Opposition, scores of frauds have littered the second round of the presidential elections as well as the legislative elections during their respective counting processes. Both parties already reported this flagrant lack of agreement and more particularly the latest days’ earliest issues to the foreign diplomatic body. The most revealing example developed in the Moramanga district. The Electoral Commission got caught red handed merging the electoral results recorded in this district with those collected from the much smaller electoral precinct of Andilamena.  Andilamena merely has 32 000 voters, a dwarf district compared to Moramanga’s more than 108 000 voters. Candidate Jean Louis Robinson’s victory by 65% got reduced by this trick to an insignificant gain of some thousands of votes. In addition to this, several cases of ballots purposely marked in favor of Hery Rajaonarimampianina, the transitional ruling power’s champion, have been noticed. The heap of irregularities spotted by the Opposition prompted it to send no less than 300 requests and complains to the Special Electoral Court before any final result gets released.
