Turkey Presidential Election 2023: The new President is going to be decided in Turkey today. This time, against the current President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Ardoan, his rival Kamal Kalchadarlu has emerged as a big challenge. The biggest reason for this is that more than 50 percent votes are needed to become the President in Turkey, but in the first phase no candidate could get so many votes.
In the first phase of the presidential election held in Turkey, while Ardoan got 49.5 percent votes, Kemal Kalchadarlu got 43.5 percent votes. It is known from the polls conducted so far that Kalchadarlu has given the strongest challenge to the country’s most powerful person, Recep Ardoan.
The devastating earthquake in Turkey in February this year has created a severe economic crisis in front of the people of the country, which seems difficult to overcome in the near future. Dealing with similar challenges is going to prove extremely challenging for the upcoming President. Today, on May 28, the contest that is going to take place is directly between Rechap Ardoan and Kamal Kalchdarlu. Talking on the basis of the votes of the first phase, there was only a gap of 4 percent votes between Ardoan and Kalchadarlu. At the same time, the main reason for reaching the voting in the second phase was that Sinan Oan, a candidate belonging to the hardline nationalist party of Turkey, got 5.2 percent votes.
Recep Ardoan has also made many promises to the people in the presidential election this time, including building 6 lakh 50 thousand new houses in earthquake-affected areas, reducing the inflation rate to 20 percent, which is currently 44 percent. To reduce the inflation rate to 10 percent by the year 2024 and to send Syrian refugees back to their homes, for which they will negotiate with the President of Syria. Kemal Kalchadarlu, who is called Gandhi of Turkey and the closest rival of Ardoan, has made promises to the public, free houses for earthquake victims, ban on selling property to foreigners, controlling inflation rate, reducing the power of the President , which Ardoan had increased during his reign. However, people believe that Ardoan will win again this time.
