In theory no, they have election and he / his party has lost elections "recently", notably the mayoral election in ankara and istanbul. He even cancelled and ordered the redo of one of those elections because he didn't like the result (in a not so legal way), but his party still lost it and they did let the transition of power happen. In practice the fairness of national elections are in doubt, but more importantly Erdogan willingness to leave office if he loses is the big unknown. Given that he has purged all institutions, including the army, to only have his people everywhere, what happens if he refuses could go from Trump "but at the end he still had to go because enough people kept their sanity" all the way to lukashenko "and then he stopped pretending there were elections".
