Ankara:
Last month, Turkey was hit by its most powerful earthquake ever.
In this more than 5 thousand buildings collapsed. More than 45 thousand people died. Tens of thousands of people were injured. Many people have lost their homes.
The country is yet to fully recover from the earthquake. In this situation, the country is going to face general elections.
Elections for the post of President and Parliament will be held on May 14. Preparations for this have already started. In the first phase, this work has been accelerated in the 10 provinces that were heavily affected by the earthquake.
Will incumbent President Tayyip Erdogan win this election again? There is a question mark. Because there is dissatisfaction among the public that he did not take proper action during the earthquake and he did not visit the affected areas.
In the last election, he was re-elected as the President by getting 55 percent of the votes. Similarly, his party got the same amount of success in the parliamentary elections.
But this time the general election is coming 3 months after the earthquake. The impact of this is expected to reverberate in the elections. Will Tayyip Erdogan win the presidential election again? There is an expectation that. Erdogan is confident that he will win this election.
Erdoğan has said that he will build new and better buildings to replace the buildings that collapsed due to the earthquake.
