Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted May 14, 2023 After dominating Turkish politics in the last two decades and making Turkiga from a perennial has-been and broke to a regional financial and political powerhouse. Turkiga now has one of the he biggest airports and airlines in the world, too. He also made diinteena suuban, Islaam, something to be proud of in Turkiga. However he is facing the toughest fight of his political life since 2016 failed coup. The secular, pro-Yurub Kamaalists consolidated after one candidate. This candidate promises to disengage with the Muslim world as well as Afrika, Aasuya and go back to the forgotten days of constantly begging Midowga Yurub for membership. This Turkish election result will have a consequence to Soomaaliya as well. For the sake of Soomaaliya's stable future, I hope Rajab Dayib Ordugaan wins tomorrow's elections.

Illyria Posted May 14, 2023 It does not appear so, and if anything his star seems to have been shining by a mile. Some of the polls give him a tiny lead, whereas others place Kilicdaroglu ahead by a couple of points. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted May 14, 2023 I think things had changed and Erdogan will Inshallah win tomorrow. two or three weeks ago, the foreign media was that the opposition leader is ahead 10 points or five points, now they changed their tune by claiming a neck and neck horse race. I expect the media to under count his vote always. What gave me hope is everyone says his party AKP and the alliance are way ahead in the parliament around 45%. Besides, the Kurdish party Al Huda has huge support in the south east. Despite the PKK, most Kurds and conservative Muslims. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Illyria Posted May 14, 2023 This is the main opposition, and it does not look like the stars are aligning for him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted May 14, 2023 The opposition leader visited Atuturik's tomb on the eve of the election while Erdogan prayed in Hagia Sophia. That shows the battle lines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galbeedi Posted May 14, 2023 He has visited the tomb of Attaturk, but this guy isn't a rigid Kemalist. He is more of social democrat of the left. Furthermore, even if he wins he couldn't turn back Turkey to the old ways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted May 14, 2023 Seeing a sawir like this would not have been possible two decades ago in Turkiga. Rajab dhalintii Turkiga jecleysiiye diintooda and be proud of it. The picture was taken tonight. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted May 14, 2023 It is somehow strange election. Erdogan had 52% , yet he kept going down close to three points. Someone is probably manufacturing things in Istanbul area where Erdogan had strong showing before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Illyria Posted May 14, 2023 3+ million diaspora votes are yet to be tallied, and reported, and are expected to tilt in Erdogan's favour. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
