Q: PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Jean-Bertrand Aristide , the former priest who rose to become Haiti ’s first democratically elected president before being forced into exile twice, returned home on Friday to a raucous welcome from supporters and jitters that he would rattle a presidential runoff intended to settle months of political discord here. 
  
 Thousands of people cheered, danced and blocked streets around the airport upon his arrival. Then they swarmed the grounds of his spacious home, climbing over walls to get on the property, scaling trees to get a look at him and massing on his porch to peer into windows — once the thick crowd parted enough for him to get out of his car and make it inside. Several people swiped coconuts from his trees and cracked them open during an impromptu celebration under the fierce sun. 
  
 Mr. Aristide, who remained secluded inside, arrived like a conquering hero on a chartered flight from his adopted home in South Africa at 9:05 a.m. local time, stepping onto Haitian soil for the first time since he left the country in 2004 under strong American pressure as rebels closed in on the capital. 
  
 A polarizing but closely followed figure, beloved by the poor but reviled by others as corrupt and autocratic, Mr. Aristide defied American efforts to keep him out, at least until after the runoff on Sunday. The election is the product of months of political wrangling after the fraud and violent protests from the first round of voting in November, and American officials fear that Mr. Aristide’s presence alone could disrupt it. 
  
 Juggling five languages as he spoke in the shade of a veranda at the airport, Mr. Aristide did not directly mention the runoff, but he denounced the exclusion of political parties, including his own, Fanmi Lavalas, which officials barred from the voting last year for what was described as paperwork problems. 
  
 “The exclusion of Fanmi Lavalas is the exclusion of the Haitian people,” he said in Haitian Creole. 
  
 In English, he added: “In 1804, the Haitian revolution marked the end of slavery. Today, may the Haitian people end exiles and coup d’états, while peacefully moving from social exclusion to inclusion.” 
  
 As he left in a dark sport-utility vehicle along with a caravan of cars, marchers followed him into the streets, some chanting, “We don’t have a candidate, so we are not going to the election.” 
  
 A carnival float drove along the road to his house and pounded out a thumping beat, with “Welcome Home President Aristide” painted on its side and supporters dancing as they marched to his house, where it was evident the security Mr. Aristide’s supporters had arranged was quickly overwhelmed. 
  
 He remained in his car for several minutes at his house while a mob of enthusiasts surrounded it. When he was finally able to emerge, a hearty roar went up and the celebrants remained for hours, chanting and sharing their disbelief that he had actually come back until the police began to disperse them. 
  
 Mr. Aristide has said he came back to work on his educational foundation, but Western diplomats working to keep him out of the country were skeptical, given the timing. He arrived on the last official day of campaigning for the two candidates in the runoff. 
  
 President Obama had even called President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, where Mr. Aristide made his home while in exile, in hopes of preventing the former Haitian president’s return because of the “destabilizing” effect it might have “in the closing days of the election,” said Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the National Security Council. 
  
 But South African officials, who oversaw Mr. Aristide’s residence and security, said they had no cause to hold him. And the Haitian government issued Mr. Aristide a diplomatic passport weeks ago, saying there was no reason he could not come back. 
  
 Some Aristide supporters in the streets and at his house said they would sit out the election, a development that could suppress voter turnout and throw the legitimacy of the victor into question. 
  
 “Since he left, things are difficult for us; I hope his return can change the poor situation here,” said James Fenelon, 25, who is unemployed and waited outside the airport for Mr. Aristide. “I am not going to vote. I have one leader. It’s Aristide.” ||||| By Joseph Guyler Delva and Pascal Fletcher 
  
 PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide made a triumphant homecoming to Haiti on Friday after seven years of exile, returning despite U.S. objections two days before a crucial presidential vote. 
  
 Thousands of enthusiastic followers turned out to greet the former leader, who is still widely revered in impoverished Haiti as a champion of the poor, although viewed by the United States as divisive figure who could disrupt Sunday's election. 
  
 Supporters whooped and cheered at Port-au-Prince airport as a smiling Aristide, accompanied by his family and U.S. actor and black rights activist Danny Glover, emerged from the charter plane that brought him home from South Africa. 
  
 "If you could lean against my heart you could hear how fast it is beating, how it is singing a melody to Haiti," Aristide, wearing a blue suit, told reporters at the airport. 
  
 He said he had come back to make "a small contribution" to his country, which is struggling to recover from a devastating 2010 earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people and set back development in one of the world's poorest states. 
  
 Screaming supporters carrying Haitian flags and welcoming banners mobbed the black SUV that took him from the airport -- with a police officer sitting on the front of the car. 
  
 At his spacious home in the capital's Tabarre district, which had been refurbished for his arrival and draped with national flags, followers climbed walls and trees to pack the yard to greet him when he arrived. One woman rolled on the ground in delight, screaming "Long Live Aristide." 
  
 Aristide, 57, a charismatic former Roman Catholic priest, was ousted from power in 2004 through an armed rebellion. Continued... |||||

The US really, really wanted him to stay away until Sunday's presidential elections were over, but Jean-Bertrand Aristide returned to Haiti today after a seven-year exile. The former priest and twice-elected president arrived just ahead of a runoff to determine whether pop singer Michel Martelly or former first lady Mirlande Manigat will be the nation's next president, reports Reuters. Aristide, who left for South Africa in 2004 following an armed rebellion and US pressure, says he wants no part of politics and is there to work on his education foundation, reports CNN. But the US, including President Obama himself, is skeptical given the timing and pressed Aristide to delay out of fear he'd have a "destabilizing" effect on the election. It's not clear exactly what effect that might be, but Aristide remains hugely popular with the nation's poor. Manigat has said he'd be welcome in her government, and Martelly, who once denigrated him in song, has changed his tune of late, adds the New York Times.
