Christian Ntsay retained as Madagascar Prime Minister: Secretary general

Madagascar has retained Christian Ntsay as its prime minister, the secretary general of the presidency said on Monday. Ntsay was first appointed to the position in June last year. He replaced Olivier Mahafaly, who resigned to comply with the terms of a court ruling that ordered the formation of a new consensus government to end a political crisis on the Indian Ocean island nation ahead of elections late last year.
