Mahamadou Danda (born 24 July 1951[1]) is a Nigerien political figure who was appointed as Prime Minister of Niger by the Supreme Council for the Restoration of Democracy (CSRD) on 23 February 2010 and left office on 7 April 2011.
[1][9] Danda, who has studied in Canada, held the post of Political Counsellor at the Canadian Embassy to Niger (as locally-engaged staff) when President Mamadou Tandja was overthrown in another coup on 18 February 2010.
[13] While Tandja's government consistently sought to downplay the problem of famine and hunger—to the point that it was considered "an almost taboo subject"—the CSRD quickly demonstrated a different approach.
Danda discussed the government's plans for emergency relief, and the United Nations and European Union both promised assistance.
[14] Danda was part of the National Democratic Institute's delegation observing the March 2015 general election in Nigeria.
