Madagascar poll: Rajaonarimampianina wins
Madagascar's former finance minister, Hery Rajaonarimampianina, has won the presidential election, officials in the Indian Ocean nation have announced.
Mr Rajaonarimampianina, allied to incumbent President Andry Rajoelina, won 53.5% of the vote in December's run-off, the electoral commission said.
His rival, Richard Jean-Louis Robinson, has said the second round was rigged and is demanding a recount.
The election is intended to end years of political unrest.
