Recep Tayyip Erdogan has a mandate to rule Turkey until 2028 after winning a presidential election run-off.

The Turkish President must now confront skyrocketing inflation that has fuelled a cost-of-living crisis and oversee rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people.
