Turkish Presidential Elections Start amid Escalating Erdogan Scandals

World

ANKARA-The Turkish presidential elections started today amid desperate attempts by Recepe Tayyib Erdogan, the leader of the ruling Justice and Development Party, to stay in power despite the corruption scandals haunting him and several officials of his government.

 AFP reported that more than 50 million Turks are to cast their ballots and chose one of three presidential candidates: Recepe Tayyib Erdogan, the joint candidate of the center-left Republican People’s Party (CHP) and the far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, 70 and MP Selahattin Demirtas, 41.  

The Turks have suffered a lot from the unjust and irresponsible practices of Erdogan’s government which is hit by different scandals including oppression, corruption and misuse of power.

Despite expectations that Erdogan may win the Sunday presidential polls, analysts are unanimous about the vague future of the Justice and development party and they expect the end of this party if its current leader takes power in Turkey.

News reports from Turkey revealed that in case Erdogan wins he will seek expanding his powers to be Turkey’s actual ruler and have the authorities of both the president and the prime minister.
