Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko: National Assembly dissolution and bureau removal are 'tsaho'
Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko lashes out at maneuvers aimed at shaking his "seza". The president of the lower chamber denies rumors of dissolution of the National Assembly and the permanent bureau circulating on social networks. Climate of provocation. He qualifies as "tsaho" the talk surrounding the dissolution of the National Assembly. "Be hozatse" vehemently denies hearsay about his possible removal from the helm of the Tsimbazaza Hemicycle. "The convocation of all deputies is directly linked to the examination of reports and work of parliamentary inquiry commissions, particularly concerning Jirama," according to Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko. He equally refutes the existence of disagreements within the National Assembly. Responding to criticism and calls for his resignation from the presidency, he demands that proof be produced. The current president of the lower chamber loudly declares he is "against any maneuver to divide Malagasy people". He urges everyone to avoid creating a climate of provocation among Malagasy. Referral to the HCC The strongman of Tsimbazaza emphasizes "the importance for the National Assembly to continue assuming its functions," relying no doubt on the Constitutional High Court's decision of October 14, 2025 concerning a request for resolution on a political crisis exit. Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko was indeed the initiator of the letter referring the matter to the HCC, which led it to establish the vacancy of the positions of President of the Republic and President of the Senate, as well as the impossibility for the current government to fulfill the functions of President of the Republic. A double finding that led – literally and figuratively – "the competent military authority embodied by Colonel Michaël Randrianirina Michaël, to exercise the functions of head of state". With prohibition for the authority substituting for the President of the Republic from applying articles 60, 100, 103, 162 and 163 of the Constitution. Constitutional foundation. Article 60 provides notably that "the President of the Republic may, after informing the Prime Minister, and after consulting the presidents of the Assemblies and the Circle of Preservation of Fihavanana, pronounce the dissolution of the National Assembly". A power of dissolution of the lower chamber not recognized by the PRRM. Not to mention that there are no longer presidents of the Senate and the CFM. As for the president of the National Assembly, one can hardly imagine him endorsing the sabotage of his own institution and, consequently, of his own person. "The constitutional institutions and bodies in place continue to exercise their functions," according to the decision of October 14, 2025, which constitutes the constitutional foundation of PRRM power and the legal basis of the Refoundation regime. It cannot be called into question, because "the rulings and decisions of the HCC are reasoned; they are not subject to any appeal. They are binding on all public authorities as well as administrative and judicial authorities," according to article 120 of the Constitution. The very same Constitution that the PRRM solemnly swore to respect on October 17, 2025, almost a year ago now.
