The son of Pasteur Richard Andriamanjato, Andriamanjato studied in Madagascar and Russia before moving into politics. He headed five ministries under two Presidents; his longest lasting position being Minister for Post and Telecommunications, which he held from 1993. In 2002, he was the victim of a poisoning, and as a result, he stood down in February, playing no further part in the struggles that year.
