As president Zafy was frustrated by the restraints placed upon the powers of his office by the new constitution.

A number of already existing political parties and their leaders, among them Albert Zafy and Manandafy Rakotonirina, anchored this movement which was especially strong in Antananarivo and the surrounding high plateau.

Zafy was sworn in as President on March 27, 1993.

At a national conference of the opposition in 1990, Zafy was elected as President of the Committee of Active Forces ( CFV ), a cooperation group of several opposition parties, including Zafy's UNDD.

Zafy was detained for a week in late July 1991 and was met with a crowd of about 100, 000 supporters upon his release.

Ravony resigned in October 1995, and Zafy appointed Emmanuel Rakotovahiny, who was the head of the UNDD and had been Minister of State for Rural Development and Land Reform, in his place.

Zafy received some support in the second round from those who, despite their criticisms of Zafy, felt he was preferable to Ratsiraka, such as Interim President Norbert Ratsirahonana, who had unsuccessfully stood as a candidate in the first round.

Zafy became the leader of the National Reconciliation Committee ( CRN ), which was founded in June 2002 to promote national reconciliation among the leading participants in the political crisis that followed the 2001 election.

Rajoelina's government initially barred Zafy and others from returning to Madagascar after the talks, but later he was allowed to return.

Zafy was impeached in 1996, and Ratsiraka, who had been in exile in France, achieved a political comeback in late 1996 when he won that year's presidential election, running as the candidate of the AREMA party.

Didier Ratsiraka returned from exile on November 24, 2011, a move that was welcomed by the Rajoelina regime as well as by former presidents ( and former opponents ) Ravalomanana and Zafy.

** Albert Zafy defeats Didier Ratsiraka in the Madagascar presidential election.

Under the new constitution, the Malagasy public elected President Albert Zafy, President Didier Ratsiraka, and most recently President Marc Ravalomanana.

The first multi-party elections came in 1993, with Albert Zafy defeating Ratsiraka.

Zafy ran on a ticket critical of the IMF and World Bank.

Zafy eventually won the power he sought after but suffered impeachment at the hands of the disenfranchised parliament in 1996 for violating the constitution by refusing to promulgate specific laws.

Runoff elections were held in February 1993, and the leader of the Hery Velona movement, Albert Zafy, defeated Ratsiraka.

After President Zafy's impeachment by the National Assembly in 1996 and the short quasi-presidency of Norbert Ratsirahonana, the 1997 elections once again pitted Zafy and Ratsiraka, with Ratsiraka this time emerging victorious.

He served as Foreign Minister himself from 1993 to 1996, under President Albert Zafy.

After Didier Ratsiraka took power in 1975, Zafy resigned from the government and joined the University of Madagascar.

On July 16, 1991, the CFV declared the creation of an alternative government, with Zafy as its Prime Minister.

Zafy became head of the High Authority of the State, which, along with the Social and Economic Recovery Council, replaced the Supreme Revolutionary Council and the National Assembly during the 1991 – 1993 transitional period.

In the second round, held on February 10, 1993, Zafy won the presidency with 66. 74 % of the vote ; he took office in late March.

On September 5, Zafy announced that he would leave office on October 10, and he described his impeachment as a " constitutional coup d ' état " that occurred a result of his criticism of the National Assembly.

In his 1996 campaign, Zafy blamed the problems faced by Madagascar during his presidency on his opponents and the International Monetary Fund, and he downplayed the charges against him that had led to his impeachment.
