Madagascar president resigns ahead of polls in November
- Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina has resigned after being confirmed as a candidate in the country's presidential elections. The constitutional court stated that a sitting head of state must resign to contest the election.
- The president of the senate declined to assume presidential powers after Rajoelina's resignation, leading the court to assign the government collectively with the prime minister as the head.
- The official list of presidential candidates was published, with 13 out of 28 contenders selected, including Rajoelina, two former presidents Marc Ravalomanana and Hery Rajaonarimampianina.
