Turkish politicians were holding final rallies in the last hours of campaigning, the eve of pivotal presidential and parliamentary elections that could significantly shape the NATO member's future.
Supporters of Turkish CHP party leader and Nation Alliance's presidential candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu wave Turkish flags during an election campaign rally in Ankara, Turkey, Friday, May 12, 2023. Turkey is heading toward presidential and parliamentary elections on Sunday.
“If our nation decides to make such a different decision, we will do exactly what’s required by democracy and there’s nothing else to do,” he said. On Friday, Kilicdaroglu asked tens of thousands gathered to hear his final speech to go vote on Sunday to “change Turkey’s destiny.” He said he was ready to bring democracy to Turkey, a major criticism of Erdogan who has cracked down on dissent in recent years and concentrated most powers of the state in his hands.
