He took office on 20 January 2007 at the beginning of the second term of President Marc Ravalomanana.[2] During Ravalomanana's first term, Rabemananjara became director of the military cabinet of the presidency in 2004[3] and was then named Minister of the Interior and Administrative Reform on November 28, 2005.[1][4] After becoming Prime Minister, Rabemananjara remained Interior Minister in the new government, named on January 25, 2007.[5]
