World Leader

The Resume

    (May 30, 1974- )
    Born in Antananarivo, Madagascar
    Worked as disc jockey at age 20
    Owned a radio station named Viva and an advertising company named Injet
    Founded Determined Malagasy Youth
    Mayor of Antananarivo (December 2007-January 2009)
    President of Madagascar (March 17, 2009- )

Why he might be annoying:

    His rise to power was internationally condemned as a coup d’état.
    He was too young to become president, as the Malagasy constitution states that the minimum age to become president is 40 years old, and he was 34 when he took office.
    Once he took power, international aid was temporarily suspended and Madagascar was also suspended from the African Union.
    He established close ties with the military, which involved hiring military personnel into government positions.
    He canceled two power-sharing deals with supporters of previous president Marc Ravalomanana.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He looks freakishly handsome for a head of state.
    To date, he has become Africa’s youngest president.
    His radio station was shut down after an interview with former head of state Didier Ratsiraka (December 13, 2007).
    He allowed free market reforms that attracted foreign investors, allowing aid to increase again.
    He is popular with lots of Malagasy entertainers.
