Why Erdogan won the recent elections in Turkey?

By Vladan Lausevic | Vlad's politics | 30 May 2023


Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won the run-off election in Turkey, securing another five-year term as president. Despite a worsening economy and chronic hyperinflation, Erdogan was able to maintain popular support.

The election was technically free but not fair, with potential rivals facing legal obstacles and media controlled by Erdogan's allies. The conservative and religious right in Turkey see Erdogan as a hero, while the economy continues to deteriorate.

Turkey's economy is struggling, with a weak currency and dwindling reserves. Erdogan may seek foreign loans and deepen ties with countries like Russia to mitigate the economic crisis.

However, the future remains uncertain, with potential challenges to Erdogan's leadership due to his health issues or internal party dynamics. Overall, Turkey is likely to face ongoing economic, social, and political challenges in the foreseeable future.
