Kilicdaroglu will now need to rally his deflated troops and beat the odds yet again to wrest back power for the secular party that ruled Turkey for most of the 20th century.“It will be an uphill struggle for Kilicdaroglu in the second round,” Hamish Kinnear of the Verisk Maplecroft consulting firm agreed.Erdogan rode a nationalist wave that saw smaller right-wing parties pick up nearly 25 percent of the parallel parliamentary vote.
“As soon as I come to power, I will send all the refugees home,” he said in his first post-election address. Kurds embraced Erdogan during his first decade in power because he worked to lift many of their social restrictions. Turkey’s recent years have been roiled by economic upheaval that erased many of the gains of Erdogan’s more prosperous early rule.
Government data showed Turkey’s foreign currency reserves – topped up by aid from Arab allies – dropping by $9 billion and reaching their lowest levels in 21 years in the week running up to the first-round vote.
