Mialy Rajoelina

Mialy Razakandisa Rajoelina (née Razakandisa) was the first lady of Madagascar from 2019 to 2025 as wife of former President Andry Rajoelina. She was previously first lady during her husband's presidency of the High Transitional Authority of Madagascar from 2009 to 2014.

Early life, education, marriage Mialy Razakandisa Rajoelina, the eldest of three girls, was born in Antananarivo and was raised in a relatively affluent family. Her mother, Nicole Razakandisa, a Protestant (Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar, FJKM), who died in 2012, was a chemist by profession and owned a chemical products company. She holds a master's degree in finance and accounting management from the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in Paris.

Business and links with France Mialy's marriage to Andry provided him with the opportunity to lead Doma Pub, a company owned by Mialy's family, where he ventured into the local advertising hoarding market and began his career as an entrepreneur. During the 2009 crisis in Madagascar, amidst safety concerns, most of Mialy's family relocated to France, including the couple's children. After her husband became president Mialy founded Fitia, a humanitarian association which aims to collect donations and distribute them to the most vulnerable in Madagascar, especially women. She is its president and spokesperson. Supporters of Mialy and her husband say that Fitia shows that the couple cares for Madagascar and its people, while critics say that the organisation is a propaganda campaign aimed at increasing their popularity. Mialy has admitted to using her popularity to help her husband, adding that she sees nothing wrong with it and that people who support her usually support her husband as well.

Faith Like her husband, Mialy is a Roman Catholic, in April 2013 she and Andry met with Pope Francis to become the first African leader and first lady to be received by the new pope at that time.
