Erdogan is supported by the third-ranked candidate.

Ogan, who received 5.17% of the vote on May 14, said at a press conference in Ankara that he would support President Erdogan, rather than the opposition coalition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu, in the second round of voting on May 28.

Erdogan received 49.52% of the vote in the first round, leading Kilicdaroglu by 5%.

"I would like to announce that we will support presidential candidate Recep Tayyip Erdogan and invite those voters who cast their ballots for us in the first round to vote for Erdogan," Ogan said.

Ogan said he would support any candidate who implemented tough policies toward refugees and certain Kurdish groups he considered terrorists.

“The National Coalition has failed to convince us,” he said of the coalition led by Kilicdaroglu. Ogan declared that Türkiye is at a “critical juncture” and outlined four priorities that he believes need to be addressed urgently.

First is the issue of refugees and migrants in Turkey. Second is the “urgent national security threat” following the recent earthquakes. Third are economic issues. And fourth is the fight against terrorism in Turkey, which he said needs to be “addressed on all fronts, including financially.”
