Muharrem Ince, 59, is one of four candidates running in Turkey's presidential election on May 14. The candidacy of this character, well known in Turkey, is however seen as a thorn in the side of the opposition.
The opposition, which has united under the leadership of Kemal Kilicdaroglu, takes a dim view of Ince's candidacy because it risks jeopardizing a possible victory against President Erdogan in the first round. The result of the presidential election promises to be so close that the slightest division of the anti-Erdogan vote promise to be perilous.
