The president of the National Assembly, Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko, is defending the Tsimbazaza institution and his presidency against mounting attacks. He dismisses information circulating on social media about a possible dissolution of the lower chamber and removal of its permanent bureau, calling them mere "tsaho"—rumors. Pressure on the leadership has nonetheless intensified. Calls for Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko's resignation are spreading on social networks, to which he demands concrete evidence. Meanwhile, Gen Z maintains a particularly critical stance toward the National Assembly. The movement has publicly demanded its dissolution, arguing that the lower chamber no longer adequately meets the population's expectations. The contestation is not recent. In June, Gen Z renewed its dissolution demand following the controversy over the Motor Vehicle Tax, criticizing deputies for their reversals and mishandling of several political issues. Defending the institution's legitimacy, Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko asserts that the recent presence of many deputies at Tsimbazaza signals no upheaval of the permanent bureau. Their convocation relates to parliamentary inquiry commissions' work, particularly on the Jirama matter. He also insists there is no major conflict among parliamentarians. A battle over the lower chamber's future The tension comes as 80 deputies have grouped within the "Vovonan'ny fihavaozan'i Madagasikara" (VFM). This new platform aims to give parliamentarians collective representation in the political dialogue sought by the Refoundation government. The lower chamber's future is precisely one of the elected officials' concerns. Gen Z has repeatedly called for its dissolution. In April, Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko even qualified demands to eliminate constitutional institutions as destabilization attempts. The Assembly president also has a legal argument. The Constitutional Court's October 14, 2025 decision, which forms one of the current regime's institutional foundations, prohibits the authority exercising head of state functions from using several constitutional prerogatives, including that provided by article 60 regarding National Assembly dissolution. Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko thus intends to keep Tsimbazaza in the institutional and political game. But between Gen Z's demands, the VFM's emergence, and political dialogue preparations, the National Assembly's future remains central to the power struggle.
