President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged everyone to vote on Saturday.
“Let us all go to the polls tomorrow for the Great Türkiye Victory.” Let us reflect the will expressed in Parliament on May 14 to the Presidency much more firmly this time,” Erdogan stated on Twitter.
“Let’s start the Türkiye Century with our votes,” he concluded.
On May 14, millions of people went to the polls to choose the country’s president and members of its 600-seat parliament.
Erdogan’s People’s Alliance secured a parliamentary majority, but the presidential election went to a second round since no candidate received a simple majority, or more than 50% of the vote. Erdogan, on the other hand, led with 49.52%.
In the runoff voting, Erdogan will face Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the head of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) and a joint candidate for the six-party opposition Nation Alliance.
