Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, sails into the final week before a historic runoff election as the overwhelming favorite to extend his 20-year, Islamic-based rule until 2028.
In the parliamentary and presidential elections on May 14, secular leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu provided the opposition with its strongest showing during Erdogan’s reign of dominance.
Erdogan’s control over the media and state institutions, along with ethnic boundaries, was broken by the retired bureaucrat of Kurdish Alevi heritage, who received nearly 45% of the vote.
Erdogan nevertheless narrowly missed surpassing the 50% mark required to prevail in the first round by a single point.
Despite the biggest economic crisis Turkey has had since the 1990s and polls indicating he headed for his first defeat, the 69-year-old leader did it.
