Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is favored to win a new five-year term after coming just short of an outright victory in the first round of the election. His rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who was widely tipped to come out top in the first round, has been attempting to play catch up during campaigning over the past two weeks. The outcome of the country's first-ever election runoff is expected to start becoming clear by early evening. The election would decide the country's political, economic and foreign policy course.
