- Following the signing of the Roadmap on 17 September 2011, the statutory number of members of the Transitional Congress, established in October 2010, has increased from 256 to 417. Members of the enlarged Congress were appointed by a decree of 1 December. The column "December 2011" refers to the composition of the enlarged Congress.
- The discretionary power of the President of the High Transitional Authority ceased to exist and was replaced by the President of the High Transitional Authority (PHAT).
- The enlarged Congress was to comprise three new groups: the Movement for Democracy (MDM), Madagasikara Otronin'ny Malagasy-the Union for the Future of Madagascar (Monima-Uamad) and the Zafy Albert Movement.
- As at 13 February 2012, the Zafy Albert Movement had not nominated its representatives, leaving 52 seats in the Congress vacant. There were 64 women out of a total of 365 members. |
