AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoConstitutional showdown: Madagascar’s opposition MP Antoine Rajerison has filed a petition to the High Constitutional Court seeking the removal of transitional President Michael Randrianirina, accusing the military leader of “serious and repeated” constitutional violations, including controversial appointments, and warning the country is “on the verge of rupture.” Street pressure: The legal move follows renewed youth-led protests over slow reforms after Randrianirina took power in October, when mass demonstrations forced Andry Rajoelina to flee amid worsening water and electricity shortages. Next political steps: Madagascar’s national dialogue on refounding the republic is set to start 3 June, with a constitutional referendum planned for June 2027 and a presidential election in October 2027. Regional context: The dispute lands as Madagascar joins a wider wave of recent African military takeovers, raising fresh concerns from rights groups about arrests and heavy-handed protest policing.
