Madagascar’s interim leader on Wednesday unveiled the make-up of the island nation’s new government, still without representatives of the Gen Z movement that helped topple the president last year.

Colonel Michael Randrianirina, who seized power in the wake of the youth-led protests against persistent water and power shortages, fired his prime minister and cabinet on March 9 without explanation.

The career military officer tapped Mamitiana Rajaonarison, a former police officer who has led Madagascar’s anti-money-laundering body since 2021, as his replacement head of government on March 15.

Since then, both men have been working to recruit for the new government -- with all prospective cabinet members forced to submit to a lie detector test.
