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.
