A video clip circulating on Twitter showed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan dozing off on air during a live television interview on a Turkish channel.
Erdogan was receiving a question from the anchor before he fell asleep for a moment, which made the channel have to change the angle of the camera immediately, while the anchor continued her speech, directing her eyes towards her colleague, who was participating in the dialogue.
The television interview came a few hours before Erdogan’s run-off in the presidential elections, scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday.
Camera lenses have previously captured the Turkish president as he succumbed to sleep on several occasions.
Erdogan faces (49.52 percent of the votes in the first round), his rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu (44.88 percent), the candidate of the opposition alliance that includes six parties.
And while Erdogan enjoys a good chance of winning the run-off after failing to achieve a direct victory in the first round two weeks ago, his rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu is embracing new promises in an attempt to change the course of the electoral race.
A few hours before the start of the electoral silence today, Saturday, the Turkish president continued to mobilize his supporters, as he held an electoral rally in an area overlooking the sea in Istanbul, in the presence of thousands of people.
