A first round of voting on May 14 showed Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan with a lead over the opposition’s Kemal Kilicdaroglu
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan sought to build on his momentum going into Sunday’s runoff presidential election, urging Turks to vote as the man aiming to defeat him called on electors to pull their country from “the dark pit” of his two-decade rule.
A first round of voting on May 14 showed Erdogan with a lead over the opposition’s Kemal Kilicdaroglu, and Erdogan’s Islamist-rooted AK Party and its allies secured a parliamentary majority in the initial vote. “We will encourage people who could not go . Will we complete the work that we left unfinished on May 14, with an overwhelming majority, hopefully by making the gap even wider tomorrow?”Kilicdaroglu, who is backed by a six-party opposition alliance, said everyone who loves Turkey must vote.
