Election day expected: May 2024
Jan 20, 2024: In Madagascar, where the last Presidential election was an electoral farce, the legislative elections scheduled for the first quarter of 2024 followed boycotted and contested presidential elections in November 2023, when the outgoing President, Andry Rajoelina, was re-elected. The fairness of the forthcoming elections is questionable.
