Madagasgar election results ...
Madagasgar election results ... Former Madagascan president Andry Rajoelina is set to return to power as partial election results on Saturday have given him a clear lead over his rival Marc Ravalomanana.
With over 60 percent ballots counted of about five million cast, Rajoelina had won 55.1 percent against 44.8 percent for Ravalomanana, according to the electoral commission.
Complete results are expected next week, before a period in which they can be legally challenged.
As counting progressed, the turnout was put at 48 percent - lower than the 54 percent in the first-round ballot.
Both camps have claimed victory and alleged fraud, raising fears of a disputed result and the risk of a new political crisis in the Indian Ocean island which has a history of coups and unrest.
