Analyzing Turkish presidential and parliamentary elections
Voting for Turkey's presidential and parliamentary elections abroad has started on Thursday (April 27) and will end on May 9, 2023. In this round of presidential elections, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has a tough campaign to defeat his rivals.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to the announcement of the Supreme Election Council of Turkey, elections will be held outside the country's borders in 75 foreign political missions of Turkey around the world and 156 electoral districts, as well as at the customs gates of the country.
 
The Supreme Election Council of Turkey also announced that the necessary forecasts have been made in all voting areas abroad and there is no problem.
 
In the simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections of Turkey, a total of 64 million 113 thousand 941 people are eligible to vote, of which 3 million 416 thousand 98 live and work outside Turkey.
 
According to the announcement of the Supreme Election Council of Turkey, the simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections of this country will be held inside Turkey on May 14, 2023. If the presidential election is extended to the second round, the next round of this political competition will be held on Sunday, May 28, 2023.
 
Four final candidates have been announced to participate in the 13th Turkish presidential election. According to field research, the main competition in the 13th Turkish presidential election is between Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the current president of Turkey from the Jumhur coalition and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the final candidate of the Nation coalition.
 
"Moharram Inje" from the party of the country and "Sinan Oghan" from the ATA coalition are also candidates in the April 14 election and will compete with other candidates. Moharram Incheh and Sinan Oghan are two of the candidates who separated from the Mellat coalition and were introduced independently in the 13th presidential election.
 
It is obvious that these two candidates separated from the opposition coalition of Erdogan's government do not have much chance to win the elections. But their participation can reduce the votes of Kamal Kılıçdaroğlu.
 
In fact, the candidacy of Sinan Oghan and Moharram Inje is for the interests of the ruling Justice and Development Party. For this reason, it can be predicted from now on that in case of Kemal Kilicdaroglu's defeat in the 13th term of the presidential election, these two candidates will be introduced as the reasons for the defeat of the opposition.
 
The upcoming critical election is also considered the second round of Turkish presidential elections after the change of political system from parliamentary to presidential, and if Kılıçdaroğlu wins, Erdogan will cede political power after more than two decades.
 
The ruling period of Justice and Development Party at the top of Turkey's political power should be divided into two important parts. The first part is related to the first decade of the ruling of the Justice and Development Party, when the situation of this country was in the best possible conditions, especially in the economic and commercial sectors.
 
But in the second decade, which was accompanied by the dismissal of prominent people and experts from the ruling Justice and Development Party and the Ankara government, the problems of the Turkish people in domestic and foreign dimensions have intensified every day.
 
After the emergence of these problems, the ruling party of Turkey was also forced to form an alliance with the almost infamous National Movement Party headed by Baghche Lee's government. It has been foreign policy.
 
Confronting and destroying the Kurds who were sitting at the negotiation table with the Erdogan government and occupying the lands of Iraq and Syria under the pretext of confronting Kurdish terrorist movements have been among the results of the "Republican" coalition during the second term of the Justice and Development Party.
 
In the internal dimension, the emergence of acute and unprecedented economic problems, the failure to fulfill the government's commitments to employees to increase salaries and wages equivalent to the increase in the inflation rate, the sharp decline in the value of the Turkish national currency (lira) by more than 75% in the last five years of the presidency. The Republic of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the significant decrease in the purchasing power of the people, the increase in the price of housing, food and cars, as the three basic needs of the people's livelihood and life, are mentioned among the causes, the effects of which are expected to appear in the results of the upcoming elections.
 
Taha Ak Yul, a prominent Turkish analyst who was once an ally and collaborator of the Justice and Development Party, believes in analyzing Turkey's economic crisis: "The lives of the Turkish people have been directly affected by Akparty's mistakes. So that the national per capita income in Turkey, which had increased to 12,500 dollars in 2013, decreased to 8,000 dollars after the change of the parliamentary system to the presidential system, and finally decreased to 10,000 dollars in 2022.
 
In a general summary of the conditions governing the atmosphere of the upcoming elections in Turkey, it should be said: The results of the Turkish elections are still uncertain despite the recent polls. But we can certainly predict that the conditions for the "Republican" coalition will be very different from previous periods. It is obvious that despite the economic crisis inside and numerous problems in Turkey's foreign policy and the loss of many former friends of this country in the region and the world, it is unlikely that the Justice and Development Party will be able to form the desired government with the help of the National Movement Party.
