Turkey election: Turkey faces runoff election with Erdogan leading

TURKEY is headed for a run-off vote in two weeks' time, after neither Recep Tayyip Erdogan nor his main challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu won an outright majority in Sunday's election.

The results reflect the deep polarization in a country at a political crossroads.

Erdogan has led the NATO member for twenty years and the vote was seen as a verdict on his increasingly authoritarian path.

Kilicdaroglu, who leads a six-party opposition alliance determined to unseat him, urged his supporters to be patient and accused Erdogan's party of interfering with the counting and reporting of results.

He said he will win in the runoff against Erdogan.

Erdogan, who performed better than pre-election polls had predicted, appeared in a confident and combative mood.

Well, turkish diaspora (those who live in Europe and othet places) voted 52, 6 % for Erdogan. Which is kinda strange cause they work and live abroad, in a different system

"One of Vladimir Putin's closest allies" Imagine saying this with a straight face? It means you know literally nothing about the last 10+ years of geopolitics and warfare in the region.

Are these elections similar to the Russian and Chinese ones?

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord, " and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10 1 John 1 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. Jesus answered, John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 The rapture is imminent!

Turkey seriously needs term limits for its dictators

And here I thought the russian and chinese instant trolls and bots did not have anybody else to compete with. The sultan's personal slaves are a mighty competition. RIP Turkey, hope the EU prepared the bordes for the mass migration to come. Most of which will strangely vote for him anyway while living abroad.
