3The final results of the municipal elections for Antananarivo, the capital city of Madagascar, were handed out last week. The independent candidate, Andry Rajoelina, won against the candidate of the presidential party, Hery Rafalimanana, in an upset many bloggers perceive as a warning for the current president.Tamin'ny valim-pifidianana monisipaly notontosaina tamin'ny herinandro lasa teo ho an'Antananarivo, renivohitry Madagasikara, resin'ny kandida mahaleo tena Andry (Nirina) Rajoelina ny avy amin'ny antokon'ny filoham-pirenena Hery Rafalimanana, amin'izao fivadihan-javatra izao dia heverin'ny mpamaham-bolongana maro fa fampitandremana ho an'ny filoha ankehitriny io vokatra io.
4The mayor of Antananarivo is a rather important position in the Malagasy political scene that is often a springboard for higher political aspirations.Mitana anjara toerana lehibe eo amin'ny sehatra politika Malagasy ahafahana maka vahana ho amina sehatra avoavo kokoa ny fahazoana ny andraikitry ny Ben'ny tanànan'Antananarivo.
5Indeed, the current president is himself a former mayor of Antananarivo.Indrindra moa fa efa Ben'ny tanànan'Antananarivo ihany koa ny filoha mitondra ankehitriny.
6Andry Rajoelina, also known as TGV, is a successful young entrepreneur who made his career in the media and communication business.Andry Rajoelina, izay fantatra kokoa amin'ny anaram-bositra hoe TGV, dia mpandraharaha tanora nahomby teo amin'ny sehatry ny fampitam-baovao, ny serasera ary indrindra indrindra ny dokambarotra manokana.
7The unique features of his campaign platform were highlighted by Malagasy blogger, Hery [Mg]:Navoitran'i Hery [Mg] (izy ihany no namoaka azy) mpamaham-bolongana Malagasy ny asa nampanantenaina hovitainy mandritra ny fotoam-piasany :
8His platform is focused on youth and taking into account their opinions even though other promises were also made […] He wants to create centers where children can play and expand their learnings, where youngsters can play organized sports or just entertained themselves. Free courses will be available for all students who are taking national exams whether they are in elementary school, junior high school or high school in order to speed up the process of acquiring diplomas.“Nifantoka be tamin'ny tanora ny fampielezan-keviny na dia hoe eo koa aza ny zavatra hafa izay nampanantenainy […] Fanorenana toerana azo ilalaovana sy ivelaran'ny sain'ny ankizy, Famitomboana ny toerana hanaovan'ny tanora fanatanjahan-tena sy hianlana voly, Fanomezana “COURS” maimaim-poana ho an'ny mpianatra rehetra manala fanadinana, na CEPE, na BEPC, na BACCALAUREAT izany, Fanafaingana ny fahazoana taratasy isan-karazany”
9Harinjaka tells us why one young voter has made up her mind:Notenenin'i Harinjaka antsika hoe nahoana ity tanora iray no nifidy araka izay tao an-tsainy:
10I voted for TGV because he is young.Nifidy TGV aho satria tanora izy.
11We need to teach a lesson to the current regime and let them know that we are not placidly supporting them”.Aleo koa omena lesona kely ny fitondrana fa tsy voatery hanohana azy an-jambany izahay (Mpandika teny : Antananarivo) ”.
12Not everyone is convinced by Rajoelina's youthful charisma.Tsy ny rehetra tsy akory no resy lahatra tamin-dRajoelina.
13Thenonrequired sounds skeptical and wished for a more concrete agenda [Fr]:Tahaka ny miahiahy ary maniry hahita ny fandaharan'asa azo tsapain-tanana i Thenonrequired [Fr]:
14Traditional Malagasy songs, fashion models, all-you-can-eat buffet, 500 invitations, grand entry in the middle of photographers, Sure why not ?Mpihira gasy, mpampidera bika, hanimpitoloha, fanasana olona 500, fidirana ny sehatra eny anivon'ny mpaka sary, Maninona tokoa moa ?
15But beside that, there is nothing !Fa ankoatra izay dia inona koa ? tsy misy na inona na inona !
16No detailed program, only meaningless cliches: “#I am not afraid, #It is unthinkable that nowadays, one can still live in an era of authoritarian regime and abuse of power.Tsy misy programa amin'ny antsipiriany mazava fa ambangovangon-teny fotsiny: “# Tsy matahotra aho, # Tena tsy azo eritreretina hoe mbola miaina amin'ny fanavakavahana sy ny fihoaram-pahefana hatrany amin'izao andro iainantsika izao.
17#Everyone is entitled to earn a living.# Mananjo hahazo ny anjara masoandrony (asany) avokoa ny tsirairay.
18#we need to help our youth realize their dreams…”# Tsy maintsy ampiana ny tanora hanatontosany ny nofinofiny …”
19Mialy explains that the city of Antananarivo can be unforgiving at times:Aboraky Mialy koa fa misy fotoana tsy mamela mivalo Antananarivo:
20“Loyal, but also unforgivingly severe when she has made up her mind.“Mahatoky, araka izay fotoana sy fomba tiany, nefa hentitra rehefa manapa-kevitra ho toy izay.
21The last couple of months showed that a roar of disapproval was growing, you had to see it coming: Antananarivo was not in good term with the “TIM-mania” ( TIM is the presidential party)Efa nisy ihany ny ngonongonona nandritra ny volana vitsivitsy izay, tsy maintsy hivandravandra ihany izany : Efa nangatsiaka noho ny hadalan'ny TIM i Antananarivo ” .
22Jentilisa and Barijaoana give their take on the reasons why the TIM party lost the elections.Samy naneho ny anton'ny naharesy ny antoko TIM na i Jentilisa na i Barijaona.
23Barijaoana quizzed a few voters on the reason for their change of hearts:Barijaona mikaroka amin'ireo mpifidy vitsivitsy ny antony niovany safidy:
24Were we to inquire a little further, they [the voters] would mention the not-so-subtle lock-down of the country: the mixing of private and public interests by promoting the ol' boys from Tiko and Magro [ the current president has invested interests in both companies] to high-powered positions in the affairs of the State.
25Additional reasons would be the monopolization of administrative positions at an intermediate level, the forced drafting of personnel in the public service into the TIM Education or TIM Health (presidential party's think tanks for education or health) and the refusal to debate. With his candidacy, Andry TGV managed to become the glamorous icon that contrasts with the misdeeds of the Ravalomanana government.Raha somary sokirina kokoa ry zareo dia atsingeriny ho valinteny ny fanidiana ny fahefana amin'ny alalan'ny fahazoana araka ny fomba rehetra ny fandresena: fifangaroan'ny tombotsoa manokana amin'ny tombotsoa iraisana amin'ny alalan'ny fametrahana ireo Tiko sy Magro boy (tsy mila adika intsony) amin'ny fahefam-panjakana, ampihimamba amin'ny ambaratongan-drafitra antenantenany, fanerena ankolaka na mivantana ny mpiasam-panjakana hiditra ho TIM fanabeazana na TIM fahasalamana ary ny fandavana tsy hiady hevitra.
26Jentilisa outlines a few more reasons for the Presidential party's defeat:Nahomby tamin'ny fahadisoam-pitantanana nataon'ny fitondrana Ravalomanana i Andry TGV tamin'ny firotsahany samirery.
27“Many people have argued that the city of Antananarivo is known for alternating its choice at the top.Jentilisa ihany koa dia nanampy hevitra hafa tamin'ny antony naharesy ny antokon'ny fitondrana:
28The city tends to not vote twice for the same party when it comes to presidential and municipal elections […] Another factor to consider is that is some candidates believe that once you are a member of the party, you have total impunity to do whatever you wish and you are protected comes rain or shine […] The third reason is the choice of the candidate.“Efa be no nametraka tamin'ny mpanadihady fa tsy mba fanaon'Antananarivo loatra izany mifidy ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana izany ka mbola hifidy ny Ben'ny tanàna avy amin'io antoko io ihany[..] Mihevitena manko ny sasany fa rehefa ao anatin'ny antoko dia tsimatimanota, ary misy mpiaro hatrany na inona na inona ataony[..]
29Wasn't it part of the pre-campaign brainstorming to acknowledge that an expert in communication and media would be one of the opposing candidate and that their own candidate is itself not the greatest communicator?”Fahatelo manaraka izany indray dia ny safidy kandidà narotsaka. Tsy tao anatin'ny fanomanana ve fa mety ho olona manam-pahaizana manokana momba ny serasera no hifaninana aminy ka olona votsa vava no narotsaka?”
