The earthquake in Turkey has not only devastated countless lives throughout the country — with more than 21,000 killed and over 80,000 injured — it may also have flipped the country's political power upside-down.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is set to face an election that he called in May, an opportunity for him to consolidate his grip on power after 20 years in office.
