Türkiye's pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) and allies will not field a presidential candidate in May 14 elections, co-leader Pervin Buldan said on Wednesday, in a potential setback for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's re-election bid. Speaking at a news conference, Buldan did not openly say whether their alliance will support opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu, after they had met at the weekend. The HDP is the third-biggest party in parliament and has more than 10% support nationwide, and is seen playing a decisive role in the presidential elections.
