Turkey will be at a crossroads on 14 May when millions of people head to the polls to elect a president.
The two frontrunners are the current president and Turkey's strong man Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the leader of the opposition Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
Kilicdaroglu has led Turkey’s main secular opposition party, the Republican People’s Party (CHP), for over a decade and threatens Erdogan’s 20-year rule.
