He will try every little excuse he can to somehow make it work out for him. These current dictator wannabes in democracies,in the last 5 years, have tried all the lies and ways to stay in power. Trump, Erdogan and Bosinairo have weaselled their way through government to stay in power but in the end democracy has prevailed. Fingers crossed.

Erdogan isn't like Trump or Bolsonaro. Unlike them, the vast majority of the country's population supports him. Barring another major earthquake that kills hundreds of thousands, he will easily win the elections.

In fact, tragedies like this one make the voters rally behind what they perceive to be a strong leader. His potential opponents are extremely weak in that aspect.
