The constitutional court in Madagascar says the presidential election is to be postponed by a week.
Voting will now take place on 16 November.
Madagascar has seen a sharp rise in political tension with supporters of opposition candidates staging protests over the fairness of the entire election exercise.
Last weekend, ex-President Marc Ravalomanana said he’d sustained a leg injury when police and soldiers fired tear gas to disperse a gathering of his supporters.
