TL;DR

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of Turkey's opposition alliance, is running against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the country's upcoming presidential election on May 14. Kilicdaroglu has promised to roll back much of Erdogan's legacy, including returning to orthodox economic policies and the parliamentary system of governance, and improving relations with the West. Opinion polls show Kilicdaroglu holding a slight lead over Erdogan, but he faces challenges in keeping the opposition alliance united.
