Turkey's ruling AK Party has re-elected President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in an extraordinary congress held in Ankara. The vote was nearly unanimous, and came soon after a referendum in April that changed the country's constitution. Among the main points; the President can now also be the head of a political party - the first time since Modern Turkey's founding father Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was head of state. The changes mean Erdogan is back at the helm of the party that he helped found in 2001, but had to quit after his election as President three years ago. We look at what impact this party makeover will have and if it will make the job of tackling the country's challenges harder, or easier for the President.
