Madagascar's Andry Rajoelina has been re-elected as president, the country's electoral agency has announced.
Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina has won re-election in the first round of a ballot boycotted by nearly all opposition candidates, the electoral commission announced on Saturday.
Rajoelina, 49, won 58.95% of the vote in the first round of balloting on November 16, it said.
The turnout was fairly low after ten of 12 opposition candidates called for a boycott complaining of an "institutional coup" in favour of the incumbent.
