Presidential victory

ANTANANARIVO — Former Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina won the presidential election, the high constitutional court confirmed on Tuesday, rejecting all complaints filed over the results.

The court said Rajoelina received more than 55 percent of the vote in the Indian Ocean island nation’s runoff election last month, while another former president, Marc Ravalomanana, received more than 44 percent.

Both candidates were present in court for the announcement and supporters of Rajoelina cried out in joy.
