News:
- Tayyip Erdogan’s recent re-election as President of Turkey
Important facts:
- The elections were held in a state of emergency, imposed in July 2016 following a coup attempt.
- The president will acquire the seeping executive powers given to the presidency through last year’s referendum.
- One presidential candidate, Selahattin Demirtaş of the pro-Kurdish Peoples Democratic Party (HDP), contested from prison.
- The outcome from his election is expected, is a big setback to the secularist republican people’s party, the main opposition.
