The candidate backed by Madagascar's coup-leader President Andry Rajoelina held on Wednesday an apparently unassailable lead in the island's run-off vote, which his rival's camp has said was rigged.
Former Finance Minister Hery Rajaonarimampianina has won more than 53 percent of the December 20 vote with ballots counted in more than 99 percent of polling stations, provisional results showed. His opponent, Jean Louis Robinson, who has 46 percent of votes, this week demanded a recount.
