Voting starts in Turkey presidential election runoff

Turks began voting in a presidential runoff election that could see Tayyip Erdogan extend his rule into a third decade and continue on a path of authoritarianism, aggressive foreign policy, and unorthodox economic governance.
Erdogan won the first round with a lead over rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu, but fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. Kilicdaroglu is the candidate of a six-party opposition alliance and leads the Republican People's Party.
