Turkey's Election: Erdogan's Challenger Gains Support from Kurds and Opposition.

TL;DR Summary
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leading opposition candidate in Turkey's upcoming presidential election, has adopted a more homespun approach to get his message out, releasing videos on social media laying out his vision for a Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The videos have sought to present Kilicdaroglu as an agreeable, healing figure, different from his often combative and polarizing opponent. Kilicdaroglu's videos have addressed the faltering economy, his alliance with a broad cast of opposition figures, and the candidate's faith as a member of a long-marginalized religious minority.
