TL;DR Summary

Turkish presidential candidate Muharrem Ince has withdrawn from the race, potentially boosting the chances of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main opposition candidate, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

The election is expected to be a close race between Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu, with record voter turnouts predicted.
