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 .
So many believe that Turkey's political line up against each other together with current political situation of the country and the probable effect on Turkey future has added to the importance and significance of the event.
The political propaganda is also actively underway as the election draws near: different buses are carrying the political candidates' pictures. Further more,they are followed through other means of communication such as sending texts , internet and even animations ,distributing the brochures and posters as well as face- to- face meeting with the people of every social class and finally the speeches before public .
Although there are 8 political parties which are competing to win ,it seems that the main contenders are Recep Tayyip Erdo?an ,the current president of Turkey from AK party , Muharrem ?nce ,candidate of the Republican People's Party , Meral Ak?ener candidate of ?Y? Party and Selahattin Demirta? the candidate of .Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP)
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.
On Sunday, under the ongoing state of emergency, Turkish voters head to the polls for unprecedented snap elections. The results will determine two outcomes: a president with strong executive powers and a parliament with relatively reduced powers.
This new "Turkish-style" presidential system was hatched from constitutional reforms adopted in April 2017. The referendum resulted in a 51-49% margin in favour of the "yes" campaign to overhaul parliamentary powers.
