Born on the island of [[Mohéli]] in [[1965]], he gained a degree in constitutional law in [[Ukraine]] and worked as a political adviser in [[Comoros]], becoming secretary general of the [[Comoros Republican Party]]. Before being appointed Prime Minister on [[29 November]] [[2000]], he served as Secretary General for Defense in the Presidency and played a leading role in peace negotiations with [[Anjouan]], leading to the [[Fomboni Accord]]. In January [[2002]], it was agreed, despite some opposition, that he would replace Colonel [[Azali Assoumani]] as interim [[head of state]] and oversee the Transitional Government of National Unity in the run-up to the legislative and presidential elections. Due to his Mohélian origins, he was ineligible to run for the union presidency in 2002, when the first four-year term was reserved for a [[Grande Comore|Grande Comorian]]. After the return of Azali to the presidency in May 2002, Hamada Madi was kept on as special advisor without portfolio with Union cabinet status. {{Comoros Presidents}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Madi, Hamada}} [[Category:1965 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:Presidents of Comoros]] {{Comoros-politician-stub}}
