Turkey Goes To The Polls In General Election

ISTANBUL, TURKEY - MAY 14: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan casts his vote in Turkey's general elections at a polling station in the Uskudar district on May 14, 2023 in Istanbul, Turkey. Today, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces his biggest electoral test as the country goes to the polls in the country's general election. Erdogan has been in power for more than two decades -- first as prime minister, then as president -- but his popularity has recently taken a hit due to Turkey's ongoing economic crisis and his government's response to a series of devastating earthquakes. Meanwhile, the political opposition has united around one candidate, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, with some pre-election polls giving him an edge. (Photo by Umit Bektas-Pool/Getty Images)
