**Here’s a report suggesting Erdogan’s win in the first run**

[shafaq](https://shafaq.com/en/Report/Opinion-Polls-Indicate-Erdogan-s-Potential-Win-in-Turkish-Presidential-Elections)

> Shafaq News/ Opinion polls conducted by the “Areda” and “Asal” studies centers on Saturday s**uggest that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected to win the presidential elections in the first round, which is set to begin on Sunday morning.**
> 
> The “Areda” Center for Studies conducted a poll from **May 11 to May 12, with the participation of 25,000 people. This is the first poll conducted after candidate Muharram Ince withdrew from the race.**
> 
> According to the results, **51.3% of the respondents expressed their intention to vote for Erdogan, while 44.2% favored his primary opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.** Sinan Ogan, the third candidate, received nearly 4% of the vote.
> 
> The study also indicates that the ruling party’s alliance, known as the “People’s Alliance,” is expected to secure over 51% of the votes in the parliamentary elections.
> 
> **Similarly, the “Asal” Center for Studies conducted an opinion poll showing Erdogan with 50.6% of the vote and Kilicdaroglu with 46.3%.**
> 
> **If no candidate receives 50% of the vote, the second round of the presidential and parliamentary elections is scheduled for May 28.**
> 
> An article by the Middle East Eye **highlights the potential influence of a silent electoral force in the upcoming Turkish elections, specifically the segment of approximately 11 million housewives who are eligible to vote. This group is seen as potentially playing a decisive role in the election as recent opinion polls indicate their leaning towards the ruling Justice and Development Party rather than other opposition parties**.
