Title: Erdogan's Triumph: The Undeniable Role of Devout Conservative Women On May 30, 2023, Turkey witnessed the re-election of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for yet another term. While Erdogan's win takes many factors into account, one element plays a pivotal role in his victory- the unwavering support of devout conservative women. Often overlooked, this constituency proved to be the backbone of Erdogan's campaign and propeller to his success. Turkey's conservative religious women hold strong beliefs that align with Erdogan's policies and political ideology. They have been a force that actively participated in the voting process, with a high turnout rate at the polls. Erdogan reciprocated by catering to their needs, prioritizing issues such as the protection of family values, limiting the influence of the West in Turkish politics, and promoting an Islamic way of life. His efforts have paid off, with women showing their support for him in various ways, such as taking to the streets to campaign, wearing hijabs bearing the image of Erdogan, and using social media to spread the message to their audience. Erdogan's victory would have been impossible without the resolute commitment of the devout conservative women of Turkey. The country owes them a significant debt of gratitude for their unwavering support in times of crisis and change. In conclusion, the success of Erdogan's victory lies in the support of devout conservative women who show loyalty to their leader and his political vision. This constituency has proven to play a decisive role in shaping Turkey's history. Undeniably, they are a pillar of Erdogan's triumph and an essential force in Turkish politics. In winning another term as Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan was propelled to victory in part by the fervent support of an often underappreciated constituency — conservative religious women.
