Erdogan cancels election rallies due to illness.

Turkish President Erdogan has canceled his election appearances for a third day after falling ill with an intestinal infection. Erdogan, who is seeking a third presidential term in Turkey’s May 14 elections, became ill during a TV interview on Tuesday evening with what Health Minister Fahrettin Koca later said was a “gastrointestinal infection.” Recent polls showed a slight lead for Erdogan’s main challenger amid an economic downturn and a February earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people.
