 Norbert Ratsirahonana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Presidential elections were held in November 1996, in which Ratsirahonana ran, taking fourth place (behind Ratsiraka, Zafy and Herizo Razafimahaleo) and 10% of the vote.
In 2001, Ratsirahonana withdrew from the presidential election of that year and endorsed the candidacy of Marc Ravalomanana.
In 2006 Ratsirahonana resigned from his office; in August he announced his candidacy for the December 3 presidential election.

Norbert Ratsirahonana, then prime minister and former president of the High Constitutional Court, therefore became acting president until elections could be held in December.
Ratsirahonana ran for the presidency in his own right but his Merina ethnicity, lack of provincial appeal, and technocratic nature ensured his campaign would fail to draw popular support.
Ratsirahonana and Herizo (leader of the Fanilo party) had neither the stature nor recognised name to win the necessary votes outside of the capital and the regional capital of Fianarantsoa (also in the Central Highlands).
