Turkey Presidential Election: Second phase of voting today, close fight between Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu

Presidential elections are going on in Türkiye. In this election, there is a tough fight between incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his main rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu. The voting for the second phase of this election is being done on May 28 i.e. today. The first phase of voting took place on 14 May when no candidate got more than 50% of the votes.

According to a poll released before the second phase of voting, 51% of Turkish people want Recep Tayyip Erdogan to become the country's president once again. And 49% of people want that Kemal Kelikdaroglu should get a chance. After the devastating earthquake in February, the public did not get much relief from the government. Ardoan himself admitted that the relief work had been slow. In such a situation, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also believes that the path this time is not easy.

The last time there was an earthquake in Turkey, after that the then government lost the next election and the party of Recep Tayyip Erdogan won. In such a situation, history may repeat this time also. Explain that due to the earthquake in Turkey, 50,000 people died, more than 3 million people became homeless and billions of dollars were lost.

After the earthquake, the public is suffering from inflation. People are also craving basic needs. In such a situation, Ardoan may have to bear the brunt of this. Apart from this, a continuous decline has been registered in the national currency of Turkey, Lira. The opposition alleges that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not take this issue seriously, which is why the lira continued to weaken.
