notice the article claims the opposite > The polling organisation Metropoll predicted late last month that İnce voters would predominantly give their votes to Erdoğan’s AKP, the CHP, with some also going to the far-right Nationalist Movement party and the nationalist IYI (Good party) in the parliamentary race. polls are all over the place for this election, other than telling that it will be contested. https://twitter.com/ozersencar1/status/1652771126714482689?s=20 https://twitter.com/ozersencar1/status/1652771126714482689?s...

  I had to read that sentence thrice but I don't think it's in conflict with op. The Guardian is suggesting Ince's votes will be split between the main contenders. Then KK who is in the lead will have a higher chance of clearing 50%.

  > the CHP This is Kilicdaroglu's party. Also remember that there can be a runoff election, either candidate only needs to clear 50%

  That may be poorly phrased way of saying, "people will vote for someone else". Erdogan (AKP) polls around 46%. K10u (CHP) polls around 50%. Ince was (2018) previously the CHP candidate in 2018. I don't know anything about Turkey but unless Ogan's platform was "Erdogan isn't doing enough dictating", it's hard to picture his voters all going to AKP.

Al Jazeera says the opposite, his voters are closer to Erdoğan.
