Turkish Election Results: Erdogan's Victory and Kilicdaroglu's Consequences

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the opposition presidential candidate in Turkey's recent elections, faces questions about his leadership and the challenge of preserving the opposition alliance ahead of local voting in March 2024. Despite polls hinting at a win, Kilicdaroglu lost to President Tayyip Erdogan, who was seen as vulnerable due to a cost-of-living crisis. The opposition alliance, which includes nationalists, Islamists, secularists, and liberals, will need to re-focus on maintaining control of Turkey's big cities in the municipal elections.
