Although there were some other expectations for the candidacy of Abdullah Gul, he has been nominated for the presidency and selected as the 11th president of Turkey. During the selection process, MHP and DSP provided their own candidates by coming to the parliament, and CHP didn't come to the parliament to boycott/protest. At the third tour of the process, the parliament reached enough number of votes and the selection has been completed.
Now, there are still oppositions against Abdullah Gul's presidency, lots of critics and but also support appearing. A point to note is there is no political/economical storm as exaggerated by some journalists. There will always be an eye watching on him because of the tension the selection process created.
