Rally In Izmir For Turkish President's Main Rival Has Huge Turnout
- By AFP
The main rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the election set for June 24, Muharrem Ince, held a major campaign rally in the city of Izmir. Organizers claimed that 2.5 million people turned out on June 21, but that could not be independently confirmed. Some polls indicate that Erdogan will not get a majority of the votes in the first round, which would force a run-off on July 8.
