TL;DR Summary

Turkish citizens living abroad have started voting in the presidential runoff election between incumbent Tayyip Erdogan and challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu. Erdogan fell just short of the 50% threshold needed to win the presidential vote outright last Sunday. Some 3.4 million Turks are eligible to vote abroad, out of a total electorate of more than 64 million. Erdogan says only he can ensure stability in Turkey, as it grapples with a cost-of-living crisis, soaring inflation and the impact of devastating earthquakes in February.
