The electoral commission of Madagascar has proposed bringing forward presidential polls from December to August. This follows ongoing demonstrations against the president and changes to the electoral regulations. Last week the country's top court dismissed parts of the controversial new rules -- giving the opposition some relief. The call by the electoral commission is in line with the Constitution, which allows for early polls if all parties are in agreement. The commission has invited opposition and government lawmakers to discuss its proposal on Friday. The president has not confirmed if he will be running for another term. And the opposition has insisted it will only discuss an election date if he steps down.
