 In his paper titled "Factors and Scenarios for the Turkish Presidential Elections of 2023," the researcher made a number of predictions. It was posted on the website of the Center for Strategic Studies at Anbar University on May 9, 2023. Following is a comparison of the researcher's predictions and the outcomes of the first and second rounds of the Turkish presidential elections with the scenarios that were created by the researcher:  Due to the candidacy of four candidates, the researcher created a scenario in which the election would proceed to a second round based on the distribution of votes. In reality, this is what transpired because none of the four candidates won the first round, and the second round was limited to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the candidate "Kemal Klçdarolu."
