Madagascar poll: Rajaonarimampianina wins [View all]
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.
