In less than two months, the elected members of the Lower House will join the benches of Tsimbazaza. A bill for the overhaul of the CENI is, in fact, in the making and this should be transmitted to the National Assembly during the session of the month of May. Roland Ratsiraka, with his experience in electoral matters for having been elected deputy then mayor several times, and especially for having been a candidate in all the presidential elections for 25 years, is among the main instigators of this bill. ” The objective is to have elections whose results will be accepted by all “, we said.
Democratic alternation
In any case, the deputy of Toamasina 1 wants to avoid the crisis before or after the elections. ” In 2006, he was ranked 2e during the provisional results and the next day, the computers were declared broken, then after 48 hours the candidate at the time was proclaimed the winner in the first round “, he testifies. Before adding that ” there was a political crisis in 2009 with deaths. In 2010, we created the first CENI with the Special Electoral Commission and the permanent presence of the main parties and civil society organizations, magistrates and civil administrators. Therefore, we had an uncontested CENI and not too questionable results with democratic alternation ».
7 articles
« We propose that the international community finance the elections but with conditions, including in particular a proposal to overhaul the CENI, if only on 7 articles only so that we prepare healthy, fair and transparent elections with the presence of skills and real actors inside “, Continues the boss of the MTS. The new CENI should be made up of those directly affected by the elections. ” Voters who should be represented in the CENI through civil society organizations, then political parties who must also be represented by their peers, then election technicians by civil administrators, and finally electoral judges by magistrates “, he finished.
