Turkish Presidential Candidate Ince Withdraws from Race Days Before Election.

Presidential candidate Muharrem Ince has withdrawn from the Turkish general election race, leaving three candidates to compete for the presidency: incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan, main opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, and ultranationalist Sinan Ogan. Ince's decision could boost Kilicdaroglu's chances of winning against Erdogan, as the majority of his votes come from the opposition's voter base. The election is seen as consequential as it will determine whether Erdogan will extend his authoritarian rule into a new consecutive term or whether a pro-Western six-party coalition will come to power.
