Turkey's Future Hangs in the Balance as Erdogan Faces Pivotal Elections

Turkey held parliamentary and presidential elections on Sunday, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan facing his biggest challenge in two decades of power. Pre-election polls gave a slight lead to opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who has promised to return the country to a more democratic path. Erdogan has led a divisive campaign, using state resources and media to woo voters. The elections were being watched closely as a test of the opposition's ability to dislodge a leader who has concentrated nearly all state powers in his hands.
