Last update: 10 hours agoConstitutional Showdown: Madagascar’s opposition is escalating the fight over the transitional presidency: MP Antoine Rajerison has petitioned the High Constitutional Court to remove President Michael Randrianirina, citing “serious and repeated” constitutional violations, treason allegations, and controversial appointments, while warning the country is “on the verge of rupture” amid arrests and heavy-handed security responses to renewed youth-led protests. Political Timeline: Randrianirina took power in October after protests drove Andry Rajoelina into exile, and hopes for reform have since faded as tensions simmer. Governance Roadmap: The government says national dialogue on refounding the republic will start 3 June, aiming at a new constitution, a referendum, and a presidential election—while the CENI has previously pointed to a June 2027 referendum and an October 2027 vote. Regional Context: The dispute lands as Madagascar joins a wider African pattern of military rule and constitutional battles.
