Politicians finish off campaigns ahead of Turkish elections

TURKISH politicians made their last campaign rounds yesterday on the eve of an election that is expected to see Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan win a third term and could give him a mandate to rewrite the constitution.

Turnout is expected to be high, as is normal in Turkey, and irregularities or violence are not expected to be concerns on polling day. Opinion polls have shown Erdogan (right) is set to win four more years of single party rule.
