On May 28, Turkey's current president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, won the second round of the presidential election.
Erdoğan is always strong, strong
Erdogan received 52.14% of the vote.
This vote was higher than the 47.86 per cent of the vote received by the candidate of the opposition National Alliance, Klăğda Oroğlu.

As a result, Erdogan won his campaign and will be re-elected as president.
So far, Erdogan has gone through all election processes and successfully re-elected.

The Turkish presidential election, although lively, is not interesting or new.
This election result was predetermined before the presidential election began.
There will be no suspense about the outcome of this election.
If there is suspense, it must be that there must be something wrong with the election process. In this way, Erdogan will inevitably modify the process.

Turkey's presidential election implements a system of "two rounds of voting + direct elections for the whole people".
Candidates must obtain an "absolute majority" of the votes cast or "more than 50%" of the votes to win the election.
If all candidates fail to obtain an "absolute majority" or "more than 50 per cent" of the votes, the two candidates with the most votes will proceed to a second ballot.
Earlier, on May 14, Turkey held the first round of voting in the presidential elections.
The results of the vote have not yet been officially announced, and Erdogan and his supporters have begun to celebrate.
However, the reality is a slap in the face.
The results of the vote were announced, and all three presidential candidates, including the incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, did not receive an "absolute majority" of the vote, nor did they receive "more than 50%" of the vote.
So, on May 28, Turkey held a second round of voting in the presidential election.
This round of voting made history as it was the first time in Turkey's history that a "second round of voting" was conducted.
The small vote in the first round and the need for a second round of voting proves that Erdogan is not the best president highly recognized by the Turkish people.
Indeed, in the past years in power, Erdogan's performance in power has not been outstanding.
In 2018, the financial crisis broke out in Turkey, and the lira fell in an "avalanche", and the shadow over the economy still lingers.

On February 6, 2023, two 7.8-magnitude earthquakes struck Turkey in one day, killing more than 50,000 people and injuring more than 100,000.

In April 2023, inflation in Turkey reached a staggering 50%, prices increased by 105.19% year-on-year, and prices increased by 33% compared to January this year.

As Klıchdar Ğlu said: "Now, a kilogram of onions, is 30 lira. If Erdogan continues as president, it will turn into 100 liras".

Hyperinflation, the Turkish people suffer greatly and the people's livelihood is difficult, which Erdogan cannot see.
In terms of diplomacy, as a member of NATO, Turkey "walks a tightrope" between European and American countries and Russia, creates trouble for NATO everywhere, uses itself as a bargaining chip, and intends to increase its weight.
It's just that Erdogan is often slapped in the face by reality.
Turkey does not have a lot of weight in NATO.
Even if Turkey opposes the resolution, in the end, NATO can still pass it smoothly.
Turkey also has no weight in Russia.
In 2015, Turkey shot down a Russian warplane that entered its airspace. As a result, retaliation from Russia was incurred.
The Russian Air Force carried out a "carpet" bombing of Turkish oil transport supply convoys, 20 Turkish oil trucks were blown up and 7 drivers were killed.
Subsequently, Russia caused the "Ankara Red Crescent Square bombing" in Turkey, killing 29 people.

Against this extremely unfavourable backdrop, Erdogan was still able to succeed in being elected president.
This proves that "power is more important than elections" is an unbreakable iron law.
This proves that the democratic system transplanted from the West has encountered "mutations" in Turkey.
How long will Erdogan remain in power in Turkey?
Erdogan is a well-known powerful figure in Turkey and a hero known to Turkish women and children.

Erdogan has been in power in Turkey for 20 years and has served three terms as president.
It is foreseeable that the great Erdogan will become the most re-elected president in Turkish history.

Big Brother Russia has been in power for 19 years, and in this regard, Erdogan has surpassed.
Turkey's "father of the nation" and "founding father" Mustafa Kemal reigned for 16 years, and in this regard, Erdogan has surpassed.

Erdogan has already made history:
Became Turkey's longest-serving leader since its founding.
Throughout today's world, in reality, Erdogan has no opponents. Then look back in history.
Turkey's predecessor was the Ottoman Empire, which had a great name in history and profoundly influenced the course of human history.
The territory of the Ottoman Empire
The emperor of the Ottoman Empire, revered as "Sultan".
The longest reigning "sultan" of the Ottoman Empire, called Suleiman I, reigned for 46 years.
In this comparison, Erdogan's term is still too short.
Come on, Sultan Erdogan!
In the future, strive to surpass Suleiman I and become a greater and worthy king than the Ottoman emperor, completing the record for emperorship that Suleiman I did not create.
Today, Putin and Biden sent congratulatory letters congratulating Erdogan on his re-election as president.
I think that in addition to congratulations, they are more envious - they have more than enough energy, although they can't reach it and yearn for it.
Erdogan did what Putin had no chance to do again.
Erdogan has done what Biden would never dare to do and would never be able to do.
