Politics of Madagascar takes place in a framework of a semi-presidential representative democratic republic, with a pluralist multi-party system.

Legislative power is vested in both the government and the bicameral parliament, which is composed of the Senate and the National Assembly. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.
