Turkey's Elections: A Crucial Moment for Erdogan's Future and International Relations.
TL;DR Summary
Polls have opened in Turkey's presidential and parliamentary elections, posing the biggest challenge yet to President Erdogan's 20-year rule. His main opponent is CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who represents an election coalition of six opposition parties. A candidate must win over 50% of the vote on Sunday night in order to be elected. Otherwise Turkey will head to a run-off on May 28. Erdogan faces criticism over the impact of the devastating February 6 earthquake and a faltering economy. Kılıçdaroğlu has promised to fix Turkey's economy and restore democratic institutions.
