Uitslagen presidents- en parlementsverkiezingen in Turkije

May 16, 2023 - After a closely fought race between Turkey’s main presidential candidates, voters will return to the polls on May 28 to decide who will lead the country.

The second-round vote will determine whether the country remains under the firm grip of incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan or can embark on a more democratic course promised by his main rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

While Erdogan has governed for 20 years, opinion polls had suggested that run could be coming to an end and that a cost-of-living crisis and criticism over the government’s response to a devastating February earthquake might redraw the electoral map.

Instead, Erdogan’s retreat was still less marked than predicted – and with his alliance retaining its hold on the parliament, he is now in a good position to win in the second round, according to France 24.
