The number one of Tiako i Madagasikara will meet his supporters from all regions and all districts of the South today.
Show of force expected from Marc Ravalomanana today in Toliara
Indeed, after Toamasina and Fianarantsoa, the number one of Tiako i Madagasikara will meet his supporters from all the regions and all the districts of the South this afternoon at the local gymnasium. A meeting as part of the revitalization of his party with a view to preparing for the next electoral events. This will also be the occasion for the ceremony of presenting wishes to the Zanak’i Dada in Antsimo Andrefana, Anosy, Androy and Menabe. But in the eyes of observers, Ravalo mainly organizes these trips to erase the traces of Colonel Michaël Randrianirina. The latter went to the capital of Atsimo Andrefana just five days ago to inaugurate an organic fertilizer production factory in Belalanda. It should also be remembered that the two presidential candidates have already successively visited Toamasina a few weeks ago. When he arrived in Toliara on Thursday, former president Marc Ravalomanana was warmly welcomed by the people of Tuléar. After the departure into exile of his long-time political rival, Andry Rajoelina, the number one of the Tiko Empire is regaining ground in the South. A huge crowd turned out at the local airport to welcome him on Thursday. Crowd bath, long procession stretching over several kilometers. That promises for the meeting scheduled for this afternoon. In a pre-campaign atmosphere avant la lettre, Tiako i Madagasikara is sending a strong message to its political adversaries. A strong return to power is envisaged and Ravalo and his team are doing everything possible to achieve this.
Suspense
But the only problem not to be taken lightly is that the former ruling party must confront in its path the current strong man of the country, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, who is a native of the province of Toliara. Even if he continues to maintain suspense over his candidacy for the next presidential election, everything seems to indicate that the president of the Refoundation of the Republic of Madagascar (PRRM) intends to run for an elective mandate. All his actions and all his movements clearly show that he is preparing for this. Many observers also believe that the CAPSAT officer now has all the assets and that all the ingredients are there to succeed in his political coup. Especially since, faced with difficulties in realizing the reopening of his company TIKO SA, Marc Ravalomanana risks being limited financially. In any case, in terms of electoral financing, it will certainly not be able to compete with the PRRM, which is on track to be the Russian-backed candidate in the next race for the supreme office. In any case, everything that is happening on the ground shows that a struggle for influence is emerging in the South between two potential candidates for the presidential election. This latent rivalry between two former comrades in the struggle within the movement for the refoundation also risks provoking a distant duel between Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko and Colonel Rabe Jules, who are two influential personalities in Atsimo Andrefana.
