Rakoto Andrianirina Fetison, national president of the RDS, has expressed his views on the High Constitutional Court's (HCC) decision to hold a national referendum before the presidential election. He stated that the national conference, led by the FFKM, will take precedence. According to Fetison, both steps are crucial, but should not be confused with one another. The conference will determine the country's future and new constitution.

The national conference is set to take place at the CCI Ivato next week, where discussions on the election will be held. However, Fetison emphasized that the conference's decisions should be the foundation for the country's future, rather than the HCC's decisions. He stressed that the order of events is essential and that the conference should come first, followed by the presidential election.

Fetison outlined the necessary steps for the country's progress, including the national conference, drafting a new constitution, and then holding a constitutional referendum. This will be followed by the presidential election. He believes that the HCC's decisions and the national conference's outcomes should not contradict each other, but rather serve as a basis for the country's renewal.

The RDS national president highlighted the importance of focusing on the methods and measures for implementing the election during the second discussion at Ivato. He urged that the conference's decisions should not be used to justify previously made decisions but rather serve as a foundation for the country's future.

Fetison's statements come after the HCC's decision to hold a national referendum before the presidential election. The conference, led by the FFKM, is expected to bring together various stakeholders to discuss the country's future. The outcome of the conference is expected to have a significant impact on the country's progress.

The situation remains uncertain, with many stakeholders eagerly awaiting the conference's outcome. Fetison's statements have shed some light on the RDS's stance on the matter. The party's position on the national conference and presidential election will likely influence the country's future.

As the country prepares for the national conference and presidential election, stakeholders are urged to remain vigilant and engaged. The conference's outcome will likely determine the course of the country's future. Key points to watch include the conference's impact on the country's constitution and the presidential election's legitimacy.
