Impeachment and Appointment of Interim President

Albert Zafy faced impeachment due to a combination of economic decline and allegations of corruption during his presidency. The economic situation in the country had deteriorated, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among the populace and political instability. Following his impeachment, Norbert Ratsirahonana was appointed as interim president, serving a brief term of three months. This transitional period was crucial as it set the stage for the subsequent presidential election, allowing for a re-evaluation of leadership and governance in the country. The political landscape was marked by a desire for change and reform, reflecting the public's demand for accountability and improved economic management. In the aftermath of Zafy's impeachment, the political environment shifted significantly. Ratsiraka, who had previously served as president, returned to power after winning the election. His campaign focused on decentralization and economic reforms, aiming to address the issues that had plagued the nation during Zafy's administration. This period marked a critical juncture in Madagascar's political history, as the new leadership sought to implement policies that would stabilize the economy and restore public trust in government institutions. The events surrounding Zafy's impeachment and the subsequent election underscored the challenges of governance in Madagascar and highlighted the importance of political accountability in fostering economic recovery.
