Life

After attending school, Vital completed a degree in civil engineering in the Soviet Union and joined the armed forces of Madagascar on his return . Between 1987 and 1991 he was head of the technical department in the General Staff of the Armed Forces and trained at the Saint-Cyr Military School . From 1998 to 2001 he was commander of the 1st regiment of the 5th military region in Toliara and then between 2001 and 2002 he graduated from the College of Defense in Paris ( Collège interarmées de Défense ) . Most recently he was promoted to colonel .

On December 20, 2009, Vital was appointed Prime Minister of Madagascar by President Andry Rajoelina to succeed Eugène Mangalaza . After the dismissal of the Minister for the Armed Forces General Noël Rakotonandrasana on April 7, 2010, Vital took over the rank of Brigadier General himself on April 14, 2010. On March 9, 2011 he resigned from the post of Prime Minister, but became a week later again charged by President Rajoelina on March 16, 2011 with the formation of a new government. On March 26, 2011, he presented his new cabinet, which included Yvette Sylla as Foreign Minister and Florent Rakotoarisoa as Interior Minister, while General André Lucien Rakotoarimasy remained Minister of Defense and Hery Rajaonarimampianina remained Minister of Finance. He resigned as Prime Minister on October 17, 2011, after which Omer Beriziky officially became his successor on November 2, 2011. As prime minister, he was viewed critically by opposition parties and the international community, even though he managed to involve the armed forces in politics, thereby avoiding tensions and making new economic profits from natural resources.
