Turkish presidential candidate withdraws, shaking up election race.

TL;DR Summary
Muharrem Ince, a minor challenger in the Turkish presidential election, has withdrawn his candidacy, leaving three candidates in the race. Ince's party will still participate in the parliamentary election. The withdrawal could benefit the opposition Nation Alliance, led by Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who is seeking to unseat conservative incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Latest opinion surveys show Kilicdaroglu leading Erdogan by just a few points, but unable to break the 50% threshold to win the election outright on Sunday.
