Madagascar's New Leader Names 30-Member Cabinet
The reshuffled Cabinet was formally presented at the Iavoloha Palace, situated south of the capital Antananarivo. Of the 30 appointees, 17 are carried over from the outgoing government while 13 are entering ministerial roles for the first time.
Nine women feature among the newly formed Cabinet, which operates under Prime Minister Mamitiana Rajaonarison — a seasoned anti-corruption figure and gendarmerie officer who previously headed the Financial Intelligence Unit as its director general. Rajaonarison was appointed to the top post earlier this month.
The sweeping Cabinet restructure represents Randrianirina's first major administrative move since he assumed leadership of the island nation following mass protests that forced his predecessor, Andry Rajoelina, from power last October.
Randrianirina has committed to organizing elections in the coming year under a transitional governance framework officially designated the "Refoundation of the Republic," signaling an intent to restore democratic processes following the turbulent political transition.
