Note on the Distribution of seats:
- Following the signing of the Roadmap on 17 September 2011, the statutory number of members of the Higher Transitional Council, established in October 2010, has increased from 90 to 189. Members of the enlarged Council were appointed by a decree of 1 December. The column 'December 2011' refers to the composition of the enlarged Council.
- 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 Council 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 12 March 2012, the Zafy Albert Movement had not nominated its representatives, leaving 25 seats in the Council vacant. There were 20 women out of a total of 164 members. |
