It's the final day of campaigning in Turkey ahead of Sunday's snap parliamentary and presidential elections. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces a challenge from a reunited and reenergized opposition¹⁵. Mark Lowen reports. When Recep Tayyip Erdogan called snap elections in April, he caught the opposition off guard and Turkey's powerful president looked set for an easy cruise to victory. But the fractured opposition has united for the parliamentary election that could deprive Mr. Erdogan's AK party of a majority and a firebrand center-left MP Muharrem Ince has electrified¹⁶ the presidential campaign as the stop Erdogan candidate，possibly managing to push him to a run-off. The odds¹⁷ are still stacked in Mr. Erdogan 's favor, but for the first time in 15 years, the opposition is daring to dream.

周日，土耳其提前到来的议会和总统选举就将展开，今天是竞选活动的最后一天。土耳其总统埃尔多安面临挑战，反对派如今更加团结，更具有活力，以下是马克?劳闻的报道。今年四月份，埃尔多安突然宣布大选，这让反对派措手不及，土耳其总统看上去会轻松取得选举胜利。但分裂的反对派如今为议会选举重新联合，它或许会让埃尔多安的正义与发展党失去议会多数席位，而极具煽动性的中左翼议员穆哈雷姆?因杰掀起了总统选举的高潮，他也将成为阻止埃尔多安获选的候选人，很有可能会将他推到决胜选举环节。本次选举埃尔多安仍有很大的胜算，但这是15年以来反对派第一次敢于梦想。
