Luanda — Madagascar’s president, Andry Rajoelina, left Luanda back to his country on Wednesday after a 24-hour visit to Angola during which he was received in audience by local counterpart, José Eduardo dos Santos.
Andry Rajoelina was seen off at Luanda’s “4 de Fevereiro” International Airport by Angolan Foreign minister, George Chicoty, and the deputy governors of Luanda for Technical Matters and Infrastructures, Manuel Ventura Catraio and Carla Leitão Ribeiro de Sousa, respectively.
Madagascar is a member of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), but the country had been suspended on condition that elections were held and constitutional order restored.
According to Madagascar’s Constitution, citizens are not allowed to run for president until they reach the age of 40 years.
The current head of State and former administrators of the country’s capital, Antananarivo, is only 37 years old.
