Pierrot Jocelyn Rajaonarivelo (born 17 June 1946[1]) is a Malagasy politician who served in the government of Madagascar as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2011 to 2013.
He previously served as Deputy Prime Minister from 1997 to 2002, under President Didier Ratsiraka, and he was also National Secretary of the AREMA party at that time.
[1] Following the election of Ratsiraka as President, he became Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the Budget and Decentralization in the government named on 27 February 1997.
[12] Because he could not reach Madagascar, he could not sign his registration papers personally, and on 18 October he was barred from participating in the election by the Constitutional Court for that reason.
[3] Rajaonarivelo said that "by preventing my participation Marc Ravalomanana's regime invalidates the election", and he accused the international community of supporting "tyrannical practices" with "complicit silence".
