MARC Ravalomanana has decided to delay his investiture as president as divisions deepened in Madagascar and two key provinces seceded in protest at his plans to assume the presidency, an aide said on Wednesday.
President Marc Ravalomanana of Madagascar has consolidated key territorial gains, and aside from violent incidents in one town, faced no opposition in his progress towards winning a power-struggle with former leader Didier Ratsiraka.
Soldiers loyal to Madagascar’s new President Marc Ravalomanana have put former prime minister Tantely Andrianarivo under house arrest.
MARC Ravalomanana was sworn in Monday as president of Madagascar in front of a vast crowd, even as his rivals declared his investiture illegal.
