None of the finalists challenging each other during this presidential election' second round has so far stated anything against former president Marc Ravalomanana's return from his South African exile. After a four years long exile, will he be able to come home once the new president gets elected? will he want to at all?

Will Ravalomanana ever be back home in 2014?

Marc Ravalomanana has actually been everything but predictable. His former collaborators acknowledge him so as first. Foreseeing his next step has always been proving impossible. His major decisions are used to emerge at the least expected moment. In consideration of this factor, even though his way back home is paved by the beginning of the year 2014, his actual come back cannot be held for granted yet. As a reminder, the SADC’s requirement of Marc Ravalomanana’ safe return home was issued back in 2011, and nothing of this kind ever capitalized. The year 2014 will be considerably different. The obstacle to this return will expectedly get removed by the empowerment of the new president. Presidential candidate Jean Louis Robinson has been making Marc Ravalomanana’s free recovery of home soil one of his top priorities. As for Hery Rajaonarimampianina, he argued that he would “have no problem” with the eventual return of Marc Ravalomanana. In the run of talks organized by the National Reconciliation Council, both sides agreed on the fact that no more Madagascan would have to be kept out in exile on political ground. Elysee Razaka stated as Jean Louis Robinson’ spokesman that his side would not compel Andry Rajoelina to hit the road after his eventual incoming electoral defeat. The transitional leader`s opponents do not forcibly share the same leniency though. But this is for the time being naught but another story. First, the electoral campaign, victory will decide.
