Erdogan faces run-off in tight Turkish election as opposition momentum grows

• President Recep Tayyip Erdogan fell just short of outright victory in Turkey's presidential election, forcing a run-off with his challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
• Kilicdaroglu is buoyed by a surge of momentum and is appealing to voters for a change of direction, including a return to democracy and market-friendly policies.
• Erdogan has dominated politics for 20 years but now faces widespread discontent over the economy and his consolidation of authoritarian power.
• Voters want to see improvements in living standards and an end to polarizing politics that have strained Turkey's place in the trans-Atlantic alliance.
• The election outcome could reshape geopolitical alliances as Turkey balances relations between Russia and the West.
