Sinan Ogan endorses Erdogan in Turkish presidential race
TL;DR
Sinan Ogan, the nationalist "kingmaker" who came third in Turkey's presidential election, is supporting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the runoff on Sunday, although it's unclear how many of his first-round supporters will follow his lead. Erdogan emerged from the first round with around 2.5 million more votes than his liberal democratic rival, meaning Kilicdaroglu would have to win over almost everyone who voted for Ogan in order to get over the line.
