Turkey will address ballot boxes Sunday to choose within the same process the president and parliament.
Following the constitutional changes, which were achieved with last year's referendum, Rexhep Tayyip Erdoan vies for another mandate -- this time five years. The Turkish president faces a difficult challenge, and to succeed this time he has focused his campaign on the results. The presidency wants experience, said the man running Turkey since 2003.
In front of Erduan is a candidate who could jeopardise the mandate, Muharrem Ince. Republican has significantly increased support, appearing as a popular figure and not by the ranks of the political register.

If re-elected, Erdoan 64, will be the first president with the new constitutional system to transform Turkey into the presidential republic and give the head of state more power.
More than half a million observers from opposition parties and NGOs will be engaged on Sunday, in a process where fear of manipulations is great. According to polling companies, Rexhep Tayyip Erdoan is staunchly leading about 50% of support, against 25% of Muharrem Inche.
