Muharrem Ince Withdraws from Turkey's Presidential Race, Boosting Rival's Chances

Muharrem Ince, one of the four candidates in Turkey's upcoming presidential vote, has announced his withdrawal from the race, just three days before the election. Ince cited fake sex pictures and character assassination as reasons for his withdrawal, expressing disappointment in the failure of Turkish authorities to protect his reputation.

His decision to step down gives a significant boost to President Erdogan's main rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who heads an alliance of opposition parties. The withdrawal has led to a surge in Turkey's main stock market, indicating the impact it could have on the election outcome.

How might the withdrawal of Muharrem Ince influence the dynamics of the upcoming presidential vote in Turkey?
