On Sunday, May 14, presidential and parliamentary elections will be held in Turkey. The current leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, acts as a single candidate for the highest state post from the Republican Alliance.
His main rival is the candidate of the united opposition and the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. According to opinion polls, the main contenders for the presidency in Turkey enjoy approximately equal support from the electorate. Analysts find it difficult to predict the possible outcome of the election campaign.
