The political fate of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan looks set to be decided by Turkey's Kurds, according to analysts.
Turkey's persecuted pro-Kurdish party has emerged as decisive in the country's May presidential election.
According to analysts, the pro-Kurds could upset the political balance and topple Erdogan, who has ruled for two decades.
The pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) last month announced it would not field its own presidential candidate, allowing its supporters to vote for Erdogan's main rival.
Former pro-Kurdish leader Selahattin Demirtas has been in prison for nearly seven years and the party faces possible closure, but its influence could still shape the course of Turkey's politics.
