Turkey's cost-of-living crisis jeopardizes Erdogan's re-election bid.
TL;DR Summary
Turkish President Erdogan's economic policies have led to a cost-of-living crisis, eroding his popularity among his voter base of lower-income, conservative Muslim Turks. Runaway inflation has made basic foodstuffs unaffordable for many, with food prices surging 54% YoY in April. Some polls show Erdogan trailing his main opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu ahead of Sunday's first round vote, posing the biggest electoral challenge to his 20-year hold on power.
