Career
Ravelonarivo was born on 17 April 1959 in Sakadomo, Berevo, Madagascar.[1] He was a pilot stationed at the Ivato Aeronaval Base between 1985 and 1997.[1]
Ravelonarivo was appointed successor to Prime Minister Roger Kolo on 17 January 2015. Opposition members Andry Rajoelina, Jean Louis Robinson and Albert Camille Vital complained over the appointment because Ravelonarivo's wife is close friends with President Rajaonarimampianina's wife.[2] He presented his cabinet on 23 January.[3]
On 8 April 2016 it was announced that Ravelonarivo along with his cabinet resigned from their posts.[4] Ravelonarivo denied the announcement that he had resigned although he would tender resignation at a "a more opportune moment".[5] On 10 April President Rajaonarimampianina named Olivier Mahafaly as new Prime Minister.[6] Ravelonarivo subsequently stated that he would sign a letter of resignation.[7]
