The Malagasy political class as a whole did grant any warm welcome to the SADC’s latest call upon three presidential candidates, namely Lalao Ravalomanana, Andry Rajoelina and Didier Ratsiraka, to pull out from the incoming presidential contest. Neither of them intends to give in this time around. And the International Community increasingly trends to let things develop the way they are. Support committees and electoral machines keep on carefully clearing for action, now that the presidential election’s knock out round is but two months away.
In the run of a ceremony held at the City Council's building in remembrance of the popular movement which took place back on May 13th 1972, Andry Rajoelina, the transitional leader, confirmed that he is bound to take part into the presidential race basically expected to start on July 24th. He finds no ground at all to pull out from the presidential tournament, as he used to pledge shortly before.
