Kilicdaroglu ahead – Erdogan clearly behind challenger in overview

Date:

In the run-up to Turkey’s presidential election, incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan trailed his challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu in a poll. According to data released by the Konda Institute on Thursday, 43.7 percent of those polled supported Erdogan and 49.3 percent supported Kilicdaroglu. If no candidate wins an absolute majority on Sunday, a second round is scheduled for May 28.

The poll suggests that Erdogan’s rival could then earn extra points. In contrast, according to the institute, the majority of supporters of the other two applicants support Kilicdaroglu. In the poll, 4.8 percent supported Sinan Ogan and 2.2 percent supported Muharrem Ince. On May 6 and 7, 3,480 people were questioned.

Democratic restart expected under Kilicdaroglu
After 20 years under President Erdogan, Turkey is at a crossroads. In polls, he and Kilicdaroglu are neck and neck. The approximately 64 million eligible voters also decide on the future political system when electing the president and parliament. While Erdogan maintains an authoritarian style of leadership, Kilicdaroglu has heralded a democratic new beginning.
