The current president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is the favorite on the threshold of the presidential elections. This is what the survey of the "Areda Survey" research center shows.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced earlier that the general elections in Turkey (both presidential and parliamentary) are scheduled for May 14. He said that in March, the government would propose to the parliament to accept May 14 as the day of general elections, and in case of refusal, it would use its powers. Erdogan's powers as president are sufficient to dissolve the parliament and call for early elections 60 days after the decree. Erdogan will be the candidate for the Union of the Republic. The coalition of six opposition parties has yet to nominate a candidate.
