Pollsters have predicted a close contest between Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu, who are both expected to garner 42-43 per cent of the vote. Since neither candidate is likely to achieve the 50 per cent plus one vote mark needed to win the election, the 15 per cent of voters who have remained undecided so far—most of them among the 5 million new voters—will influence the outcome at the last minute, according to the pollsters.

Erdogan is 69 and has occasional health issues.
I thought he would be strongman for life. maybe not?
what would a post-Erdogan Turkey look like? would militant Islamists destabilize the area?

Rumours of his death was on Twitter this morning, then i saw an article from the Guardian that police are looking into the tweets for disinformation. Really need the police to investigate a rumour?

I seriously think that the alphabet agencies from the land of the free will have their fingerprints all over it.

When you say "election in Turkey", I hope you're using the word "election", very, very, loosely....

that's kind of the point of the thread.
if it looks like he lost and he holds on to power, will the global community do anything? I doubt it.
does he have a right-hand man?

I hope the opposition candidate has good security...

The current president will win by landslide,OR ELSE!! Almost bet you he wins hands down and the other guy is jailed before the votes are read.
