“For the sake of endorsing their past and present responsibilities, Marc Ravalomanana and Andry Rajoelina must challenge each other in a presidential elections” according to Raymond Ranjeva, who also believes that “whatever next meeting between both of the main figures in the crisis is supposed to focus on the way to organize the upcoming presidential election, namely this duel. “
The election will have to be organized by a “neutral and technocratic government” as a pledge for fairness and transparency. Raymond Ranjeva also believes that the two party talks between Ravalomanana and Rajoelina have be followed by four party talks involving the three former heads of state, Marc Ravalomanana, Ratsiraka and Albert Zafy, and the current leader of the transition, Andry Rajoelina.
Some political groups and some foreign diplomats do suggest a presidential race without Ravalomanana and without Rajoelina as the solution to the Malagasy crisis. Professor Raymond Ranjeva thinks different. As far as he is concerned, both decision makers must be forced to run the upcoming presidential election and let the nation decide. The former juge of the international court of the Hague compares the current political conflict in Madagascar to a football match. Raymond Ranjeva believes that the time to proceed with penalty kick out has come.
