List of political parties in Madagascar explained

This article lists political parties in Madagascar.

In Madagascar, most of the constituencies elect one member of the national assembly; however, several elect two. This means that the political party with most votes may get an absolute majority in the national assembly without an absolute majority of the votes. This system makes coalition governments less likely.
