He came from the high nobility of the Merina people and made a military career and was married to Queen Ranavalona I for the second time . His sons Rainivoninahitriniony and Rainilaiarivony succeeded him in the post of Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Rainiharo supported the Alt Hova party, which wanted to push back the influence of European states and ways of life.
