Madagascar Unveils New Government
(MENAFN) Madagascar revealed a new administration on Tuesday after a military coup, appointing three notable critics of former President Andry Rajoelina to significant ministerial roles.
The official announcement, which had been delayed twice, introduced a 29-member Cabinet at the Iavoloha State Palace in Antananarivo, the nation’s capital. The Cabinet includes 10 women, one minister of state, and one deputy minister.
Interim President Michael Randrianirina outlined the administration’s key goals, emphasizing the fight against impunity, enforcing strict fiscal measures, and establishing a stable environment for businesses.
“Each minister must have concrete results within two months. The absence of results within this period is a sign of failure and could lead to an immediate replacement,” the military leader cautioned.
While many members of the new government are relatively unknown, three high-profile opponents of the former regime have assumed pivotal positions.
Christine Razanamahasoa, who previously served as justice minister and president of the National Assembly, was appointed foreign minister after joining the opposition following pre-election disputes ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Fanirisoa Erinaivo, a former magistrate who recently returned from exile in France, was named justice minister.
Hanitra Razafimanantsoa, a lawmaker affiliated with former President Marc Ravalomanana's Tiako i Madagasikara party, was designated as state minister responsible for the "refoundation."
