TL;DR Summary

Turkey is set to hold its most important presidential and parliamentary elections since 1950, with President Erdogan facing his toughest challenge yet from opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu. The elections come amid a cost-of-living crisis and earthquakes that killed over 50,000 people. Erdogan is offering a vision of further development, while Kilicdaroglu is pledging further democratisation and to roll back Erdogan’s “one-man rule”. The most recent polls show Kilicdaroglu leading Erdogan in the presidential race, while the AK Party is predicted to be the largest party in the Grand National Assembly.
