In his last speech made in public as transitional leader during the opening ceremony of an hospital located in the outskirts of Antanananarivo city, Andry Rajoelina clearly warned that he would “find another way”, could the new president reject docile cooperation with him. He actually does. The brand new president is already scurrying for potential political allies in order to break free from dependency of Andry Rajoelina and his legislative minions. Hery Rajaonarimampianina’s first challenge is the following: foiling Andry Rajoelina’s thought up Putin-Medvedev scheme from scratch. To this end, any other prime minister but Andry Rajoelina would be a massive relief. Easier said than done though, since Rajoelina saw to it that his legislative minions would make him prime minister if they won a comfortable majority at the parliament. The issue is no easy to the new president, considering that, in the backstage, many of Madagascar’s financial partners do confess their reluctancy to resume cooperation with any government led by Andry Rajoelina
The freshly declared new President inherits in his early days in charge of a political crisis and a institutional crisis in the making. Hery Rajaonarimampianina would really be keen on ruling the country his way and not as a vassal to the outgoing transitional leader who massively boosted, politically and financially speaking, his electoral campaign. How easy will he find to get rid of this putsch maker who has run out of credit but not of troublemaking potential.
