ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) - Outgoing president and former coup leader Andry Rajoelina said on Wednesday his coalition won Madagascar's parliamentary election and he raised the possibility of becoming prime minister, which could fan tensions anew with his arch-rival.
Rajoelina was barred from running in the 2013 presidential election under a deal brokered by regional African states meant to end Madagascar's political turmoil after his 2009 coup. But that only fuelled speculation he would seek to retain power as prime minister of the large, nickel-producing island state.
