Turkey's Presidential Election Run-Off: What Comes Next?

Turkey will have a presidential election run-off on May 28, with incumbent candidate Recep Tayyip Erdogan predicted to win as he garnered a five-percentage point advantage from Sunday’s first-round vote against his main contender, Kemal Kilicdaroglu. Erdogan has promised to introduce subsidised energy bills and hikes to pensions, public workers’ salaries and the minimum wage, while Kilicdaroglu is promising a return to a “strong parliamentary system”, a solution to the “Kurdish issue”, a return of Syrian refugees back home, and closer relations with the European Union and the United States under a more muted foreign policy.
