Today, Rwanda’s Prime Minister Dr. Edouard Ngirente, represented  President Paul Kagame, in the inauguration ceremony of Andry Rajoelina, President of the Republic of Madagascar.

In accordance with the Constitution, Mr. Rajoelina swore an oath “to perform in virtue” his function as President of the Republic of Madagascar and to use his powers “to guarantee and strengthen national unity and human rights”.

On 8 January, the Malagasy courts validated Mr Rajoelina’s victory by dismissing unsurprisingly all accusations of fraud by his rival Marc Ravalomanana. (End)
