The restructuring of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) continues. By decree no. 2026-1516 of June 10, 2026, made public in recent days, the President of the Refoundation of the Republic, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, has appointed Madame Anne Raymonde as a member of the permanent body of the CENI on behalf of the Head of State. She thus replaces the representative who was to be appointed by the Presidency and will complete the current mandate, in accordance with the provisions of the organic law governing the Electoral Commission. The text specifies that this appointment follows a vacancy noted within the institution and allows for the completion of the composition of the body responsible for organizing elections and referendums in Madagascar. As provided by law, the new member will exercise his functions for the remaining duration of his predecessor's mandate. This appointment is part of the renewal process undertaken following the collective resignation, last March, of eight of the nine members of the permanent body of the CENI. Following these departures, the various entities authorized to designate their representatives proceeded to replace their members. The new commissioners officially took office at the beginning of May to enable the institution to fully resume its missions in anticipation of upcoming electoral deadlines. The renewal of the CENI occurs in a particularly sensitive political context. Since the popular demonstrations of September 2025 that led to the fall of Andry Rajoelina's regime, the credibility of the electoral body has been regularly questioned by part of the political class and civil society. Several organizations believe that simply replacing commissioners is insufficient to address criticisms of its functioning. Among the most critical voices is notably GEN Z, considered one of the main architects of the popular mobilization of September 2025. The movement has repeatedly called not only for the departure of former commissioners but also for the outright dissolution of the CENI, arguing that the institution had lost the confidence of part of the population. This demand has also been echoed by several civil society organizations, which advocate for a complete overhaul of the electoral body to guarantee its independence and the transparency of future elections. Despite these protests, the authorities chose to pursue the path of restructuring the permanent body rather than abolishing the institution. With the appointment of Anne Raymonde on behalf of the President of the Refoundation, the composition of the CENI is now complete. The institution is thus called upon to continue the work undertaken, particularly the overhaul of electoral lists and the preparation of the electoral calendar announced as part of the transition. It remains to be seen whether this restructuring will be sufficient to restore the confidence of a public opinion that continues to demand guarantees regarding the impartiality of the body responsible for organizing future electoral consultations.
