Turkey’s dollar bonds rallied by over 2-4% after the withdrawal of Muharrem Ince was said to boost the chances of Erdogan’s presidential challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu. Muharrem Ince is a prominent politician and a former presidential candidate. His pulling out is estimated to see more than 5-percentage-point advantage for Erdogan’s rival Kilicdaroglu.
