Madagascans will head to the polls for the first round of the presidential election on Nov 7, while the second round is slated for Dec 19.

Incumbent Madagascar President Hery Rajaonarimampianina and former presidents Marc Ravalomanana and Andry Rajoelina will vie for the post.

The island’s latest political crisis was sparked in April by a legal amendment that would have prevented Ravalomanana from standing for office.

In May, Rajaonarimampianina approved a new law removing that provision, and the Constitutional Court ordered him to dissolve his government and appoint a new prime minister with the support of all parties.
