There could be a change of power in Turkey's elections.
Ankara - Turkey's elections will take place on May 14th.
Then the people of Turkey will elect a new parliament and a new president.
In the polls from March, challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu from the opposition alliance "Six-Tisch" is ahead of incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Kilicdaroglu is also supported by the left-wing Alliance for Work and Freedom.

CHP mobilizes 250,000 election observers at Turkey election
The largest opposition party, the CHP, does not want to lose this lead and will mobilize 250,000 election observers on election day.
They should follow the counting of the votes and also be present when the ballot papers are transported to the so-called voting centers.
The other opposition parties also want to use election observers to prevent “vote theft” on election day and have therefore announced precautionary measures.
The country is in an economic crisis.
High inflation and currency depreciation are taking away people's purchasing power.
The devastating earthquake, which officially killed around 50,000 people, is also affecting the people of Turkey.
AKP has election campaign events held in German mosques
The election campaign has become all the harder.
Erdogan is also mobilizing his supporters abroad to get as many votes as possible from Turks abroad.
An "AKP Foreign Elections Coordination Center" is leading the election campaign in Germany, which is mainly taking place in the mosque communities of Ditib and IGMG ("Milli Görüs").
Erdogan cannot afford defeat.
His challenger Kilicdaroglu has announced that he will investigate corruption cases.
Among other things, the "gang of five" should pay back tax debts of 418 billion US dollars that Erdogan had waived.
What is meant by this are the five large Erdogan-related companies, which practically divide the state tenders among themselves.
Erdogan is therefore threatened with lawsuits, and not just because of bribe payments.
Erdogan is said to have also supplied weapons to Syrian jihadists, including the terrorist organization "Islamic State".
That was what the former mafia boss Sedat Peker, who had gone into hiding abroad, claimed.
Peker is one of Erdogan's former allies and was responsible, among other things, for the arms deliveries to the neighboring country, according to his YouTube videos.
