Erdogan's election win and its implications for Turkey and the world.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won re-election, extending his 20-year rule for a further five years. Erdogan's political savvy has contributed to his survival, allowing him to reinvent himself and find new alliances. The opposition leader, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, is yet to resign as the CHP leader, but calls for him to do so will likely increase. The election results show a significant drop in turnout in the southeast, potentially due to the increasingly nationalist rhetoric adopted by Kilicdaroglu and the opposition. The campaign took on an increasingly anti-refugee tone, with the opposition promising to force Syrians and other refugee populations to leave. The high election turnout is evidence that Turkey as a nation is invested in its democracy.
