Turkey's Election: Rival's Political Makeover Threatens Erdogan's Power.

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the main opposition candidate in Turkey’s presidential election, has undergone an image makeover to appeal to the middle class and downtrodden, the constituency that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has always championed. Promising to fix Turkey’s faltering economy has been a cornerstone of Kilicdaroglu’s campaign, with his use of Twitter to reach the electorate due to the majority of mainstream media outlets in the country being controlled by government loyalists. However, his soft-spoken demeanor portrayed from his home could come off as too soft for some of the tougher foreign policy issues in Turkey.
