The candidate for the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Muharrem Ince has in the space of weeks risen from being a fiery parliamentarian to a presidential contender who has energized the Turkish opposition and poses a serious challenge to President Erdogan.
Turkey's presidential and parliamentary elections, to be held this Sunday 24 June 2018 , are probably the most crucial elections the country has ever had.
Some 56 million Turkish people are reportedly going to vote both for presidential as well as parliamentary elections simultaneously .
However the findings of the recent polls suggest that the snap elections might end up with the runoff. It also suggests that the ruling party is going to lose majority in the Turkish parliament.
