Practical information
After more than 20 years at the helm of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has won a historic third term as President of the Republic, defeating Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the Kemalist party's candidate, with 52% of the vote, despite being backed by an unprecedented coalition of the entire opposition.
As the Republic of Türkiye celebrates its centenary next October, this victory seems to consolidate Erdoğan's party's considerable hold over the country, despite the economic slump that is severely affecting Turkish society. It also testifies to the anxiety of the majority of the population against a backdrop of international crises in its immediate vicinity.
