The Fifth Ntsay Government is the executive government of Madagascar from August 2024 until September 2025. It is led by Prime Minister Christian Ntsay, who has been in office since 2018. In September 2025, following massive protests over frequent water and power outages at the capital of Antananarivo, president Andry Rajoelina fired Ntsay; the later coup eventually dissolved the government.
Following the opening of the new legislature and in accordance with the constitution, Christian Ntsay submitted the resignation of his government to the President of the Republic, who immediately accepted it. He was reappointed to his position two days later and presented his new government on August 22, 2024.
