Albert Zafy (born 1 May 1927)〔Patrick Rajoelina, ''Madagascar, le duel'' (2003), page 206 .〕〔(''Transition démocratique à Madagascar'' ) (1994), page 54 .〕 is a Malagasy politician. He was the President of Madagascar from 27 March 1993 to 5 September 1996. In 1988, he founded the National Union for Democracy and Development (UNDD). In 1992, Zafy decided to run against the incumbent president Didier Ratsiraka in the general election. The election soon became a run-off between the two candidates. In 1993, Zafy won the run-off election winning in a landslide caring 67% of the vote.〔Richard R. Marcus, ("Political change in Madagascar: populist democracy or neopatrimonialism by another name?" ), Institute for Security Studies, Occasional Paper 89, August 2004.〕 During his presidency, Zafy received poor polling numbers due to an economic decline with accusations of corruption in his office. He was impeached in 1996, but didn't prove successful since Zafy remained in office until his defeat by Ratsiraka in the 1996 general election.〔Guy Arnold, (Madagascar: Year in Review 1996 ), Britannica.com.〕 During his post-presidency period, Zafy has been a strong opposition leader during the incumbent Malagasy political officials. ==Early life and early career== Zafy was born in Ambilobe, Diana Region. He studied at the University of Montpellier in France. After his return to Madagascar he became Minister of Public Health and Social Affairs under Gabriel Ramanantsoa. After Didier Ratsiraka took power in 1975, Zafy resigned from the government and joined the University of Madagascar.〔''Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience'' (1999), ed.
