USA has welcomed Madagascar’s elections results announcement after
taking sometime without people in that country knowing who had won the elections.
A statement written by Jen Psaki from USA department of spokesman
said,’The United States welcomes the announcement of the final results
of Madagascar’s presidential election. We commend the Malagasy
electoral authorities for organizing a poll that reflects the will of
the Malagasy people and are grateful to the United Nations for its
support to the electoral process.
The election of a new president represents an opportunity for
Madagascar to make progress on strengthening democratic institutions,
improving respect for human rights, combating corruption, and
rebuilding its economy. We look forward to working productively with
President-elect Rajaonarimampianina as Madagascar implements the
roadmap for the restoration of democracy developed by the Southern
African Development Community in 2011.
We look to the president-elect to form a new government whose members
have the full confidence of the Malagasy public and the international
community.
