ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) -Madagascar's lower house of parliament voted on Tuesday to impeach President Andry Rajoelina who has fled abroad after a standoff with youth-led protesters and the military. The National Assembly decision, by 130 yes votes to one blank ballot, came hours after the 51-year-old leader sought to dissolve the National Assembly by decree, deepening the Indian Ocean island's political crisis. Despite flying out on a French military jet, Rajoelina is refusing to step down in defiance of weeks of Gen Z protests demanding his resignation and widespread defections in the army.
