The second round of elections in Turkey, 60 million people head to the polling
Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Kemal Kilicdaroglu

Turkey returns to the polls today to end or extend a third decade of the era of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is seeking re-election to the presidency.

Erdogan, in power for twenty years, is seen as the favorite in this unprecedented second round of presidential elections, where he faces the social democrat Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

The polls have just opened and Turkey's 60 million voters (the diaspora has already voted) are invited to choose between the visions presented by the candidates from 08:00 to 17:00.

On the one hand, stability and the risk of authoritarian defection by the outgoing 69-year-old conservative Islamist vice president, or, on the other, a return to the parliamentary system proposed by his 74-year-old rival, a former senior civil servant.

The 49.5% of votes obtained by Erdogan in the first round on May 14 proved the wide support he enjoys. Including voters in the areas hardest hit by the earthquake, which left at least 50,000 dead and three million displaced.

On the other hand, Kilicdaroglu has not been able to benefit politically, as he did not pass 45% of the votes in the first round. The chairman of the CHP, the Republican People's Party, founded by Mustafa Kemal, promised the "return of spring", the return to a parliamentary system, the restoration of the independence of the judiciary, the central bank and freedom of the press.

The result of the presidential election will be announced in the evening and will be scrutinized very carefully by Turkey's allies, especially in NATO.
