Sinan Oğan will support the incumbent president in the decisive second round. Both the ruling and the opposition camps have been in touch with the right-wing candidate to get his support in the runoff vote to take place on Sunday.

Both the ruling and the opposition camps seek the support of the nationalist candidate who puts sending refugees back at the center of his rhetoric. But there are question marks over his ability to sway his voters to support the candidate he endorses.

Sinan Oğan has not explicitly declared his support for Kılıçdaroğlu or Erdoğan, and demands both candidates to distance themselves from the Kurdish-focused parties that supported them.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Muharrem İnce, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Sinan Oğan will compete for the presidency in the 14 May elections.

The list of candidates will become final on March 31, after the council reviews the appeals. The İYİ Party will appeal against Erdoğan's candidacy.
