Headline of the day! An heir for the Osman Sultan Erdogan? Well, Erdogan still has three more years left in his term. So it is a bit premature!
"Selcuk Bayraktar’s TB2 drones have played a pivotal role in stalling Russia’s invasion on the plains of Ukraine. In Turkey, they have made the 42-year-old MIT-trained aerospace engineer—who is married to one of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s daughters—something of a folk hero. Polling data shows he is one of the country’s most popular public figures. After more than 20 years in power, the 70-year-old Erdogan is facing a term limit in 2028 and speculation is beginning to build about who will follow him. One potential challenger, Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, faces an important test in this weekend's local elections as he tries to fend off a candidate from Erdogan’s party. Results are expected tonight."
