On Friday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan suspended election campaigning after falling ill with an intestinal infection, AP News reports.
On Tuesday, Erdogan, 69, became ill during a TV interview which later turned out to be a “gastrointestinal infection,” according to Health Minister Fahrettin Koca.
He had to subsequently cancel his election rallies planned on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of the upcoming elections on May 14th.
