What Will Erdogan Do as Executive President? | Inside Story


Recep Tayyip Erdogan has dominated Turkey's political scene for the past 16 years, and looks set to continue for many more to come. His re-election on Sunday makes him Turkey's first executive president. That means he has new, expanded powers because of changes to the constitution approved in last year's referendum.

His main opposition rival accepts the result - but Muharrem Ince says the election was unfair, and warns Erdogan's 'one man rule' is a danger to Turks. So how will the balance of power be changed?

Will Turkey's Election Produce a Surprise? | Inside Story


Turks go to the polls on Sunday for what are seen as the most crucial elections in Turkish modern history.

For the first time presidential and parliamentary votes take place on the same day. There are six candidates for president. If no one wins more than 50 percent of the vote in Sunday's poll, the top two will be involved in a run-off. And whoever becomes president will be assuming enhanced powers approved in a referendum last year.

These are not easy times. Turkey's been in a state of emergency since a failed coup attempt in 2016 and the economy is in crisis. So could there be a surprise? And what would that mean for Turkey's future?
