To challenge Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, opposition party candidate Muharram Anje announced his withdrawal from the presidential candidacy.
After this decision, three candidates are left in the race for the presidential candidate, including Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Jamhur Ittihad, Kamal Kalich of Millat Ittihad and Sina Awan of Ata Ittihad.
The withdrawal of Muharram Anje of the State Party as the presidential candidate will strengthen the opposition, which will strengthen the main rivals of President Tayyip Erdogan.
Three days before the presidential and parliamentary elections to be held on May 14, the withdrawal of the presidential candidate Muharram Anje is expected to lead to a tough competition between Tayyip Erdoğan and the opposition.
Anje Muharram announced that he was withdrawing as a presidential candidate, but his party was strongly participating in the parliamentary elections.
His withdrawal is likely to boost the votes of Republican People’s Party leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who is the candidate of the six-party opposition coalition and has support from other parties outside the coalition.
