Malagasy Revolutionary Party
The Malagasy Revolutionary Party, better known by its Malagasy acronym AREMA (from Antoko Revolisionera Malagasy), is a political party in Madagascar. It was the ruling party of the Democratic Republic of Madagascar, a one-party socialist state, from 1976 to 1992, when it was known as the Vanguard of the Malagasy Revolution (French: Avant-garde de la Révolution Malgache; Malagasy: Antokin'ny Revolisiona Malagasy, lit. 'Guarantor of the Malagasy Revolution'). The party has gone through three name changes since, although it has never changed its acronym AREMA.
"AREMA" was originally an acronym derived from the party's Malagasy and French names: Antokin'ny Revolisiona Malagasy (lit. 'Guarantor of the Malagasy Revolution') in Malagasy and Avant-garde de la Révolution Malgache (lit. 'Vanguard of the Malagasy Revolution') in French.
Sometime around 2001, the party changed its Malagasy name to Andry sy rihana enti-manavotra an'i Madagasikara (lit. 'Pillars and Foundations to Save Madagascar') and its French name to Avant-garde pour la rénovation de Madagascar (lit. 'Vanguard for the Renovation of Madagascar'). Although the acronym "AREMA" was maintained in both Malagasy and French, the meaning of the party's name differed between the two languages. The party later changed its French name to Association pour la renaissance de Madagascar, the acronym "AREMA" now also applying to the party's English name, Association for the Rebirth of Madagascar.
In 2020 the party adopted the Malagasy name Antoko Revolisionera Malagasy (lit. 'Malagasy Revolutionary Party') for all its official publications, including those in French.
The party was founded on 19 March 1976 as the Vanguard of the Malagasy Revolution, the main political alliance of president Didier Ratsiraka. It held the majority of seats in the parliament until the fall of the Ratsiraka regime in 1991.
AREMA had 455,000 registered members in 1995.
In the elections to the Senate held on 18 March 2001, AREMA won 49 of the 60 elected seats.
In the parliamentary election held on 15 December 2002, AREMA won 4.9% of the popular vote and 3 out of 160 seats in the National Assembly, all three in Toamasina Province.
