Erdogan's Political Future Hangs in the Balance Ahead of Turkey's Election Runoff.

President Erdogan is expected to win Turkey's election runoff on May 28, defying predictions of his political demise. Erdogan has rallied voters with a mix of religious conservatism and nationalism, consolidating power in his hands and reshaping the secular state founded 100 years ago. Critics say he has polarized the nation during his 20-year rule, including in this election campaign. Erdogan portrays himself as a defender of democracy who has pushed back against military interference in Turkish politics.
