[HIGHLIGHTS] 2023 Turkish election: The election of the Turkish president and parliament

Turkey will hold both presidential and parliamentary elections in 2023. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been in power for 20 years.

Around 85 million Turks are called upon to cast their vote in the Turkish elections. Currently, Erdogan, with his Islamic-conservative AKP party and the ultra-nationalist MHP, has only a simple majority in the government. The opposition alliance "Table of Six", consisting of six parties, has nominated CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu for the presidential election.
