There is a threat to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's uninterrupted reign as president since 2014 and the name of the threat is Kemal Kilicdaroglu of Turkey's Republican People's Party or the CHP. As the Presidential candidate he campaigns, a sea of people is there supporting him. Kemal, the Turkish opposition candidate will challenge Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the polls on 14 May, and he smilingly promises "the return of spring". Kemal is 74year old and the head of the country's second-biggest party. He is a former civil servant. Kemal could take advantage of years of economic crisis and soaring inflation, as well as last month's devastating earthquakes in the south that killed more than 46,000 people brought criticism of the state's response. Yet some doubt that the feisty former economist who climbed the ranks as a corruption-fighter can defeat Erdogan, Turkey's longest-serving leader whose campaigning charisma has helped achieve more than a dozen election victories
