The High Transitional Authority (French Haute Autorité de Transition, HAT) is a provisional executive body that came to power in Madagascar following the coup that forced Marc Ravalomanana to leave the country on March 17, 2009 as a result of the 2009 Malagasy protests. It is headed by Andry Rajoelina, who appointed members to the body weeks prior to the handing of executive authority from Ravalomanana to the military, which subsequently gave the authority over to the High Transitional Authority (French: Haute Autorite de Transition, or HAT).

The HAT is primarily dominated by members of Determined Malagasy Youth, Rajoelina's party.

Members

On 28 October, 2011, Rajoelina announced the selection of a Prime Minister of consensus, Omer Beriziky, who is responsible for forming a new government of consensus intended to facilitate preparations for internationally recognized presidential elections.[1] The members listed below formed Rajoelina's HAT government prior to the creation of the consensus government.
