'I am running for president in #turkey. From my prison cell.' - #SelahattinDemirtas, #HDP presidential candidate for the upcoming election
Article writen by him and published in the new york times:
https://nytimes.com/2018/06/20/opinion/president-turkey-elections-demirtas.html
'An inherently anti-democratic rule in #Turkey bars a political party that does not win 10 percent of the national vote from taking its seats in the parliament. The seats are transferred to a party that has crossed the threshold and has the second-highest number of votes on those seats'
'Thousands of polling stations have been relocated in the southeastern Kurdish region, which will force rural voters to travel miles through military check posts'

an image that is shaped through media, of #Erdogan being the 'strong men' going to win election and by then making him govern for undefined long time, is supporting exactly this.
Since this are reasons people are gonna vote for him. It's the strongmen, with it's neo-ottomanism, leading turkey into their greatest times NOT
If Erdogan/AKP wins is very unclear. They strongly manipulate the election, and still it's unclear. He can't break down the resistance. He leads #turkey into instability.
''According to the election law, news, predictions and commentaries on the elections results are prohibited in the media until 6 pm on Sunday. Between 6 pm and 9 pm, news and announcements will be given only by Supreme Electoral Board (YSK).
The ban on broadcast will be lifted at 9 pm.''

message to those being in #turkey:
you're resistance is inspiring. Even with all that repression you're facing, many of you don't loose their faith, of one day having abolished all this opression.
An idea can't be destroyed.
in electoral process with voting for a representative, what matters the most is people believing in it.
How ever wrong the results or the process itself might be, as long people accept, the representatives are able to govern.
Becomming uncovernable is a skill that can be learned and tought, and we all need to become better at it imho.

turkish state run news agency AA sends:
'BREAKING: Turkish Syriac-Catholic Church Patriarchal Vicar Orhan Canli congratulates Turkish President Erdogan on election victory''
and:
'President Erdogan addresses the people in Istanbul following election victor'
meanwhile:
well, they have still a lot to count and AA is a newsagency controlled by AKP.
AA sending out images of celebration for Erdogans victory, but they just used a meme generator for adding the firework over an image? xD

'#CHP keeps its hope high, as many ballot boxes are still closed'
https://anfenglishmobile.com/news/chp-keeps-its-hope-high-as-manyballot-boxes-are-still-closed-27709
Yet, Erdogan and Co. are celebrating already their victory and calling others to accept the election result.
"it appears that someone has begun celebrating a bit too early. According to our figures, we will have a second round in the presidential elections."
If Erdogan stays under 50% it's not a victory at all. It will mean that a second voting round needs to take place, between those 2 most voted for.
For the moment they heavily try to create the perception of having won, which is just false during this moment.
...but yes, maybe this perception will drive the victory home.
* they rely on the 'strongmen' narrative
