TL;DR Summary

Turkey's President Erdogan and main opposition candidate Kilicdaroglu made their final campaign appearances before the presidential and parliamentary elections. Erdogan accused the opposition of working with US President Joe Biden to topple him, while Kilicdaroglu paid his respects at the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. Polls show Erdogan trailing behind Kilicdaroglu, and if neither candidate wins more than 50% of the vote, there will be a run-off on May 28. Erdogan's campaign has focused on his government's achievements, while Kilicdaroglu has promised to fight for the secular identity of Turkey and bring democracy through democratic means.
