Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina said he plans to run for president again in November. Some people are trying to stop him from participating in the election, but he will still go ahead with his campaign.
In June of this year, secret documents showed that Mr. Rajoelina, his wife, and children became French citizens in 2014.
After the news came out, some leaders and people from Madagascar started doubting his honesty and loyalty to their country. Madagascar used to be a French colony until 1960.
Critics also say that in this country, having citizenship in two countries is not allowed. If someone gets citizenship in another country, they lose their citizenship in this country and cannot run for president.
However Mr Rajoelina, who became the president after winning the election in late 2018, disagrees with this and says that the constitution does not prevent people with dual citizenship from running for presidency.
Over 20 people are participating in the elections that will take place on November 9th on an island in the Indian Ocean.
