On May 28, for the first time in its history, Turkey will hold a runoff presidential election. Incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his strongest challenger Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Voters gave both candidates the most support in yesterday's national election, but neither won a majority.

Turkey's skyrocketing inflation, its plummeting lira, and a nation's uncertainties – they will have to endure two more weeks. Will the result bring resolution? That depends who you are and where you are. The winning candidate in rural Turkey may look different in downtown Istanbul. And Europe's first choice may be Russia's last option.

Ahead of Turkey's May 28 runoff election, we speak with Turkey researcher Seren Selvin Korkmaz and ask her: Were Sunday's elections in Turkey free and fair?
