Turkish candidate Ince withdraws from election in dramatic move.

TL;DR Summary
Muharrem Ince, one of the four candidates in Turkey's presidential election, has dramatically pulled out of the race three days before the vote. Ince cited fake sex pictures and character assassination as reasons for his withdrawal, and also did not want to be blamed by the opposition alliance if they lost. His withdrawal gives a boost to President Erdogan's biggest rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who heads an alliance of six opposition parties and is currently polling at 49%. If no candidate secures 50%, the vote goes to a run-off two weeks later.
