Madagascar rivals both claim poll win, allege fraud

An electoral agent holds up a ballot as votes are counted in Antananarivo on December 20, 2013, as Madagascar elects a new president in a run-off voteMadagascar's presidential candidates both claimed victory on Saturday in run-off polls, each accusing the other of rigging the run-off as results started to trickle in. Former health minister Robinson Jean Louis, candidate of ousted president Marc Ravalomanana, told AFP he expected to win 56 percent, while his opponent Hery Rajaonarimampianina claimed to have taken between 60 and 65 percent. "There has been massive fraud," Jean Louis told AFP, adding that "an entire airplane" filled with ballots pre-marked in favour of his rival had been discovered. Meanwhile, the camp of Rajaonarimampianina, a former finance minister under strongman Andry Rajoelina, denied any wrongdoing.
