[HIGHLIGHTS] Turkey election: dead and injured in clashes in the Kurdish southeast

Violence broke out in a village 30 kilometers from the provincial capital Diyarbakir. A bullet hit the car of a local journalist.

The election in the southeast is particularly important for the country's Kurdish minority. Polls suggest a close race between AKP candidate Murat Kurum (47) and Ekrem Imamoğlu (53) from the main opposition CHP. If the AKP wins back Istanbul, Erdoğan, whose political rise began as mayor of Istanbul, will further consolidate his power.
