The people of Madagascar will return to polling stations on Friday to choose a new president in a run-off vote to end years of political turmoil. But old rifts will likely influence the outcome of the election. The main candidates rely on supporters of their respective sponsors, outgoing President Andry Rajoelina and the man he deposed Marc Ravalomanana.Al Jazeera's Tania Page reports from the capital, Antananarivo.
