Andry Rajoelina was the President of Madagascar in 2010. Rajoelina was 'President of the High Transitional Authority of Madagascar' from 2009 March 17 to 2014 January 25.
Mayor of Antananarivo from December 2007 to February 2009, Rajoelina came into conflict with the then president of Madagascar Marc Ravalomanana, after the government closed several television and radio stations including Rajoelina's Viva TV. Rajoelina led rallies against Ravalomanana, whom dismissed Rajoelina as mayor. One group of protestors marched to the presidential palace, but were shot at by the military, killing 30. The military backed Rajoelina's ascension on 2009 March 17, and Rajoelina became 'President of the High Transitional Authority of Madagascar.' However, he currently is living in exile in South Africa, after being tried in absentia to life in prison for ordering killings.
Presidential elections were promised for 2011 May, but were moved back several times to October to December 2013. Rajoelina and Ravalomanana were both barred from seeking the presidency.
