Madagascar holds parliamentary elections today
Madagascar will hold its parliamentary elections today.
It is being seen as the latest round of a bitter feud between president Andry Rajoelina and his long standing rival Marc Ravalomanana.
Mr. Ravalomanana lost out to Mr. Rajoelina in the presidential election in December.
Of the 800 candidates fighting for the 151 assembly seals, nearly 500 are standing as independents.
