Andry Rajoelina remained as president following power-sharing talks.
Madagascar's feuding political parties have reached an agreement on the top three posts in an interim government.

"We now have the three posts that were missing in Maputo," Ange Andrianarisoa, head of one of the four delegations at power-sharing talks, told reporters, referring to previous talks in Mozambique.

"The president is Andry Rajoelina, the vice-president is Emmanuel Rakotovahiny, and the prime minister is Eugene Mangalaza."

Rajoelina toppled Marc Ravalomanana in a coup in March, triggering months of political turmoil on the Indian Ocean island that is increasingly eyed by foreign investors for its oil, nickel, cobalt, gold and coal resources.

Foreign governments branded the political power grab by 35-year-old Rajoelina as unconstitutional while international key donors suspended their aid to Madagascar worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mangalaza, the man picked as prime minister on Tuesday, is close to former president Didier Ratsiraka but is considered politically neutral. He is a professor of social anthropology.
