Turkey Prepares For Presidential Election

ANKARA, TURKEY - MAY 13: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Presidential Palace complex is seen on May 13, 2023 in Ankara, Turkey. On May 14, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will face his biggest electoral test as the country goes to the polls in the country's general election. Erdogan has been in power for more than two decades -- first as prime minister, then as president -- but his popularity has recently taken a hit due to Turkey's ongoing economic crisis and his government's response to a series of devastating earthquakes. Meanwhile, the political opposition has united around one candidate, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, with some polls giving him an edge. (Photo by Burak Kara/Getty Images)
