Madagascar: Final Report, Legislative and Second Round of Presidential Elections, The Carter Center (2013)
The Dec. 20, 2013, elections in Madagascar marked a turning point in Malagasy history, an important step toward democracy and a foundation for renewed growth and development. The elections offered an opportunity for one of the world's poorest countries to emerge from five years of economic, social, and political stagnation that began with a 2009 coup d'état - when Andry Rajoelina took power from President Marc Ravalomanana. The international community did not recognize Rajoelina's 2009 coup or his government. Isolated and without critical international support, the Malagasy people suffered as domestic political battles derailed development.
