Rainilaiarivony

Prime Minister of Madagascar from 1864 to 1895

Rainilaiarivony (30 January 1828 – 17 July 1896) was a Malagasy politician who served as the chief of state and co-king of Madagascar (often translated as "prime minister") from 1864 to 1895, succeeding his older brother Rainivoninahitriniony, who had held the post for thirteen years. His career mirrored that of his father Rainiharo, a renowned military man who became prime minister during the reign of Queen Ranavalona I. Rainilaiarivony stems from the Tsimiamboholahy family, the original royal lignage of Imerina. He is the son of Rainiharo, son of Andriantsilavo, descendant of the last great Vazimba kind of Ialamanga (later Antananarivo), Andriampirokana.
