![[EXPLAINER] Turkey election 2023: What's at stake in the runoff?](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2023/5/26/rapplerdotcom/explainer-turkey-election-2023-what-s-at-stake-in--explainer-turkey-election-2023-what-s-at-stake-in--1662039541887250433.webp)
The election will decide not only who leads Turkey but also how it is governed, where its economy is headed, and the shape of its foreign policy.
Under Erdogan, Turkey has flexed military power in the Middle East and beyond, launching four incursions into Syria, waging an offensive against Kurdish militants inside Iraq ,and sending military support to Libya and Azerbaijan.
However, Turkey also brokered a deal for Ukrainian wheat exports, underlining the potential role Erdogan has staked in efforts to end the Ukraine war. It is not clear that a successor would enjoy the same profile he has created on the world stage, a point he has made in the election campaign.
Seeking a runoff boost from nationalist voters, Kilicdaroglu has in the last two weeks sharpened his anti-immigrant tone and promised to repatriate migrants.Kilicdaroglu got 44.9% in the first round compared to 49.5% for Erdogan, reflecting solid support despite a deep cost-of-living crisis and polls which had shown Kilicdaroglu in the lead. Pollsters later pointed to an unexpected surge in nationalist support at the ballot box to explain the result.
