flag Madagascar’s military leader Michael Randrianirina sworn in as president after protests led to impeachment of former leader.

flag Michael Randrianirina, a 1974-born Malagasy military officer and former Androy region governor, was sworn in as Madagascar’s president on October 18, 2025, following a political crisis sparked by protests over power and water shortages. flag The unrest led to the formation of a military council comprising army, gendarmerie, and police members who assumed state power, citing constitutional violations and human rights abuses. flag The National Assembly impeached President Andry Rajoelina in an extraordinary session. flag In his inaugural address, Randrianirina declared a "historic turning point," vowing to reform Madagascar’s systems, prioritize energy, health, and education, implement prudent fiscal policies, and launch inclusive institutional reforms including a new constitution and revised electoral laws. flag He called for international cooperation based on constructive dialogue and pledged to create a more stable, secure, and investment-friendly environment.
