Parliamentary elections were held in Madagascar on 27 May 2019 to elect the 151 members of the National Assembly.[1] They followed presidential elections held in November and December 2018, which saw Andry Rajoelina return to power as President of Madagascar after defeating Marc Ravalomanana in a runoff.
The result was a decisive victory for Young Malagasies Determined, which won 84 of the 151 seats, allowing them to form a majority government, replacing the previous coalition government formed after the previous elections. The opposition party Tiako i Madagasikara (TIM), led by Marc Ravalomanana won 16 seats, while five small parties secured one seat each. Independent candidates also performed strongly, winning 46 seats.
The 151 members of the National Assembly were elected by two methods; 87 were elected from single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting,[2] with the remaining 64 elected from 32 two-seat constituencies.
