• On Sunday, supporters of Erdogan’s rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu cheered as he came to vote in the election runoff.

Supporters shouted “people’s president Kilicdaroglu” as the opposition leader left the polling station, waving to the crowd.

Kilicdaroglu’s supporters hope for a change in the country’s leadership, even though Erdogan defied early opinion polls and won the first round.

Erdogan’s win will prolong his rule into its third decade.

Voting began at 8 AM (0500 GMT) and will end at 5 PM (1400 GMT).
