Madagascar experiences, once more, political unrest and military intervention in its political life. President Rajoelina, a major political figure especially since 2009, lost his power in October 2025, and it is presently still not clear towards which direction Madagascar will move in the upcoming weeks and months. The present, short report aims at analysing the application of Madagascar’s Constitution of 2010 in regard to the head of state, as well as the role which said application may have played in the context of current political turmoil. A special section focusses on relevant case law of the Madagascar High Constitutional Court.
