On 17 March 2009, as a result of 2009 Malagasy political crisis, president Marc Ravalomanana was removed from his position, and the High Transitional Authority, led by Andry Rajoelina, was formed. The High transition authority elected Rajoelina the president of Madagascar, and Albert Camille Vital became the Prime Minister and formed the government. Christine Razanamahasoa became the Minister of Justice in that government. On 28 October 2011, Rajoelina dismissed the government and asked Omer Beriziky to form the new one. Razanamahasoa joined the new government, and on 31 October 2013 resigned and was replaced by Florent Rakotoarisoa. The reason for her resignation was that she intended to participate in forthcoming national elections.
