The military junta in Madagascar, led by Colonel Michael Randrianirina, has officially dissolved the government and removed Prime Minister Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo from his position. This drastic action was announced by the Presidency, stating that the decision was made in accordance with the Constitution. The spokesperson for the presidency, Rahajason Harry Laurent, confirmed that the government had been suspended, and emphasized that a new prime minister would be appointed soon following constitutional procedures.

The announcement comes on the heels of a coup d'état that took place in October, which saw the military take control over the country's political landscape. As a result of this upheaval, the junta had previously established a government dominated by ministers loyal to the military regime. The reasons behind the dissolution of the government have not been disclosed, leaving analysts to wonder about the junta's intentions and future governance strategies.

In the interim, it has been stated that the secretaries-general of each ministry will manage daily operations until a new prime minister and cabinet members are appointed. This development raises concerns about stability and governance in Madagascar as the political landscape remains uncertain amid military rule, and it is expected to draw attention from both national and international observers regarding the future direction of the country.
