Following the 3rd ICG-M meeting held in Antananarivo on 6 October 2009, which enabled progress to be made in regard to the appointment of a consensus Prime Minister, the Chefs de file of the political movements met in Addis Ababa from 3 to 7 November 2009. On that occasion, they adopted the Additional Act of Addis Ababa and undertook to establish, under the auspices of AU, a monitoring mechanism comprising, among others, SADC, OIF and the United Nations. 23. From 4 to 9 December 2009, and in light of the deadlock in the distribution of ministerial portfolios between the Malagasy political movements, President Guebuza Armando Emilio, in his capacity as Chairman of the SADC organ for policy, defense and security cooperation, and the former President Joachim Chissano, invited the Chefs de file of the political movements in Madagascar for a fresh meeting in Maputo. The de facto authorities declined the invitation. The resolutions adopted by the Maputo meeting were rejected by the Rajoelina camp. The de facto authorities therefore took a series of unilateral measures, including the abrogation of the edict ratifying the Charter of the Transition and the dismissal of the consensus Prime Minister. It is in this context that the 4th meeting of the Contact Group was held in Addis Ababa on 6 January 2010.

Measures were taken to ease the tension which characterized relations between the Government of the Union and the Executives of the Autonomous Islands. The claims of the Island authorities, particularly of Ngazidja and Mohéli, concerned maintaining their status of President, and compliance with the rotation of the Presidency of the Union, which should be the turn of the Island of Mohéli in 2010. On 23 October 2009, in Moroni, the Comorian Government and the opposition parties met in the presence of representatives of the international community, including the AU, to discuss the organization of legislative elections, and decided to postpone the elections by one week, the first round of which was scheduled for 6 December and the second round for 20 December 2009. 25. The elections took place on the new date agreed upon, with the parties of the presidential camp emerging as the winners. In conformity with the constitutional reform of 17 May 2009, the legislative organs of the Union and the Islands meeting in a Congress in January-February 2010, decided on the harmonization of the elections of the Chief Executives of the Union and the Islands.
