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. 

 

Isn't his opponent also conservative? How is Erdogan still so strong?

there are so many factors but the main problem is him controlling 90% of the media

 

they are not conservative + the opposition party unfortunately doesn’t have the best reputation within the public nnnn

Edited May 16, 20233 yr by hallucinate

anyways there is clearly some rigging

erdogan is truly a master at manipulating

Once again, Turkey is really embarrassing itself right now. 

people who voted for him in Germany need to have their german passport REVOKED!!!! 

Are no new opinion polls allowed for the second round?

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 

Erdogan is an Ottomanist/Islamist ultranationalist 

 

Kılıçdaroğlu is a Kemalist/secularist ultranationalist 

 

both trash

 

 

 

 

These are the votes Kılıçdaroğlu is aiming to get.

didnt Erdogan welcome refugees? I thought people were voting for Kılıçdaroğlu because they want to expel the refugees. So at least in that aspect Kılıçdaroğlu is the worse candidate right? 

I saw an opinion poll for the second round. It was something like 52% Erdogan and 48% Kılıçdaroğlu. 

 

But it was on Twitter and the page refreshed before I could save. Is that true? 

Second round today.

Expelling refugees is one of the reasons why people vote for Kilicdaroglu. Secular people will take a breath if he is elected. Erdogan and his party is targeting LGBT community as election propaganda and we've gone backwards on so many issues 

 

We don't want uncontrolled refugees here in Turkey so that can be a deciding factor.

With 99.43% of the vote counted, Turkey’s supreme election authority announced late on Sunday that Erdoğan had won 52.14% of the votes, while Kılıçdaroğlu received 47.86%. With a gap of more than 2m votes between candidates, the votes yet to be counted would not change the result, said Ahmet Yener, the head of the election board.

 

The Turkish leader has spent two decades reshaping the country in his own image, concentrating power on his office, detaining opponents and instituting increasingly unorthodox economic policies. Despite this, he gained support in many of the areas of Turkey worst hit by the country’s financial troubles, as well as areas levelled in twin deadly earthquakes that killed more than 50,000 people in south-east Turkey.

 

 

“People who were responsible after the earthquake didn’t do their jobs, but our leader did everything for us,” said Meliha Karabök, in the town of Kahramanmaraş, part of a region that encompasses the epicentre of both earthquakes, and where Erdoğan won comfortably despite criticism of his government’s earthquake response.

 

While the opposition holds mayorships in Turkey’s six largest cities, Kılıçdaroğlu’s campaign appeared to run aground outside his party’s traditional enclaves on the Aegean coast and in metropolitan centres. In the Turkish provinces where Erdoğan’s rule previously catapulted many into the middle class, voters said they were unconvinced by the opposition’s campaign.

I think he almost tripled GDP in his time in the job which is really persuasive to people. Sometimes I think people will basically only vote with their economic interests in mind.

Congratulations, well deserved

Awww he is so cool because he welcomed 10 million refugees to the country and want them to stay in the country permanently even tho the war is over
