The Impact of Turkey's Elections on Erdogan's Power and Foreign Policy.

Sunday's election in Turkey could determine the political future of President Erdogan, who has moved towards one-man rule, consolidating power and leveraging Turkey's international sway. Erdogan has faced moments of uncertainty, including a failed coup attempt in 2016, and has presided over soaring inflation and a crackdown on speech and expression. His most prominent challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, has promised an alternative. Erdogan's career as a public servant and player on the world stage has seen him move from popular Istanbul mayor to entrenched one-man rule, with a constitutional referendum in 2017 changing Turkey's form of government and vesting power in an executive president.
