discussion 2023 Turkish General Elections

[karma police]

what a messy system :

[karma police]

the way they're counting the votes explains why there are such discrepancies between official and oppositional counts

 

On top of that add Erdogan's rig.

 

Either way it'll be a mess.

+ Erdogan clearly wants to mobilise his voters and manufacture own "capitol storming" moment imo.

The fact that the majority of Turkish citizens living in countries like Germany and Austria voted pro-Erdogan.

for sure

during the local elections in 2019, erdogan’s party announced that they won and started celebrations but it turned out that the whole thing was false so they accused the opposition of rigging the election (the irony )

then they redid the election a few months later and the opposition won once again by even a larger margin

[Ms. Togekiss]

can someone summarize the two platforms? I have Turkish friends so I want to make sure theyre not the equivalent of trump supporters in Turkey 

[midnightdawn]

The fact that each side is putting out their own results and claiming their candidate is in front

[smates]

I worked at the elections today... from 6.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m.  I'm literally dead on my feet and all that for what 

[Harrier]

Obviously Erdogan is a fraud isn't above lying about these results but frankly I don't fully trust the opposition either. What a MESS  

[AmandaHP]

93% turnout?! That's a rate similar to countries with compulsory voting.

They do it to keep Turkey poor and so they can have lavish holidays there. The poorer the country the bigger purchase power

[ClashAndBurn]

Sounds like Erdogan has this in the bag.

[khalyan]

This is going to a run off?  Last "official" result I saw had Erdogan at 49.4%.  Are they going to rig it so Kilicdaroglu can't have a run off?  

 

I'm invested because I want Turkey back in Eurovision

[Chemist]

Most likely it is going for a runoff

[Fastlane]

The third candidate in the elections came out 3 days before the start of voting, his result should be distributed equally among all candidates.

[Souvenir]

i want to d wordm yself

[hallucinate]

frauds

[Bloodflowers.]

Jesus Christ... I am losing all hope for Turkey. Enough of Erdogan please

[spiritboy]

Erdogan will win the run off. His religious and anti-LGBT politics are clearly working. He has a loyal fanbase that will vote for him no matter what. I mean look at the results in Earthquake-shattered regions. 

[industry baby]

Kılıcdaroglu needs to come thru. We still have 2 weeks. 

No more erdogan i refuse
