Erdogan's Political Future Hangs in the Balance.

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the opposition leader in Turkey, is hoping to replace President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the upcoming presidential elections. Kilicdaroglu has united several parties to form the Nation Alliance and has transformed his own party, the Republican People's Party, to appeal to a wider audience. He hopes to restore the economy and rule of law, and end Erdogan's policy of sacking elected mayors and imprisoning political opponents. Kilicdaroglu is currently leading in the polls, but a run-off election is likely.
