Origin and entry for independence

Along with Henry de Heaulme , Monja Jaona , Laurent Botokeky and Philibert Tsiranana, he was one of the leading personalities who had advocated Madagascar's independence from France. In 1952 he was elected a member of the Provincial Assembly of the Province of Toliara , where he joined the Parti Social Démocrate (PSD) founded by Tsiranana on December 28, 1956, the successor party to the Parti des Déshérités de Madagascar (PADESM), also founded by Tsiranana in 1946. In 1957 he was again elected a member of the Provincial Assembly of Toliara and shortly thereafter a member of the Central Assembly and as a member of the Executive Council, initially Minister of Education and then Minister of Social Affairs.

Home Secretary, Acting President and Loss of Power

After independence on June 26, 1960, he was appointed Minister of the Interior by Tsiranana, who became Madagascar's first president. He held this position for ten years until 1970.

In January 1970 he became a member of a triumvirate alongside Jacques Rabemananjara and Calvin Tsiebo, which served until May 25, 1970 for the sick President Philibert Tsiranana. The new Prime Minister Tsiebo tried to keep the erupting tensions between the left wing of the PSD under Interior Minister Resampa and the right wing under Foreign Minister Rabemananjara under control.

Resampa was then first Vice President from 1970 to 1971 and then in 1971 for a short time second Vice President of Madagascar. In May 1971, however, by order of Tsiranana, he was deposed and imprisoned for reasons of state security.

After the general strike of May 1972, in which 134 people died and 100,000 demonstrators demanded the resignation of the president, he was released on June 25, 1972 along with other political prisoners and founded the Union socialiste malgache (USM), which is part of the Socialist International connected. After the reconciliation with Tsiranana, who resigned as president on October 11, 1972, he was one of the founders of the Parti socialiste malgache (PSM), a merger of PSD and USM , in 1974 . However, after the attempted coup in December 1974 and the assassination of President Richard Ratsimandrava on February 11, 1975 , he was deprived of all political rights.

Shortly afterwards he was re-elected as a member of the National Assembly in the parliamentary elections on August 28, 1983.
