Rampant inflation, a lack of investors, a weak currency: people in Turkey are suffering from the poor economic situation. Many live hand to mouth or get into debt. That was the case before the election. And it shouldn’t change after the runoff.
He’s done it again. Despite a great willingness to change among the Turkish population, devastating mismanagement after the earthquake and massive economic problems, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan probably won the election.

The votes of the ultra-right Sinan Ogan will most likely help Erdoğan regain the presidency in the second ballot in two weeks.
