Turkey’s Erdogan Will Face These Three Rivals in Presidential Elections
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will face his main opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu at general elections on May 14 alongside two other contenders, according to a final list of four presidential candidates published on Friday.
The vote will be one of the biggest tests yet to Erdogan’s two decades in power. Social democrat Kilicdaroglu, 74, has challenged Erdogan before and failed. But this time a united opposition bloc has thrown its weight behind his candidacy and won the backing of the country’s largest non-aligned political group.
