00:00 Appendishing his nationalist credentials with the stroke of a pen.

00:05 Opposition candidate Kemal Kilec Durulu has received an endorsement from the Turkish far

00:09 right ahead of Sunday's runoff.

00:12 The move comes after he pledged to send home the nearly 4 million mainly Syrian refugees

00:17 who've been living in Turkey.

00:19 "Our project is ready to send all refugees back to their home countries without any racism.

00:25 We, the coalition leaders, made a decision, we'll send them all back to their home countries

00:30 within a maximum of two years."

00:32 Kemal Kilec Durulu's tone started to shift further to the right following President Erdogan's

00:37 strong showing in the first round of the vote.

00:40 The incumbent has been accused of airing a doctored video during campaign events linking

00:45 Kilec Durulu to the outlawed militant group the PKK.

00:50 "The opposition is campaigning hand in hand with these terrorists.

00:57 Will my nationalist citizens vote for them?"

01:02 With Turkey's presidential election in its home stretch, both candidates are leaving

01:06 nothing to chance.

01:08 President Erdogan picked up an endorsement from the third place hardline nationalist

01:12 candidate Sinan Ogan, who secured just over 5 percent of the vote.

01:17 Analysts, however, are warning that Kilec Durulu's sudden shift in rhetoric could backfire

01:22 by alienating voters he desperately needs.

01:26 He's backed by an alliance of six parties including the pro-Kurdish HDP.

01:30 But Kilec Durulu's support from the Kurdish population has been thrown into doubt after

01:35 his deal with the far-right pledged to fight terrorist organisations, including militant

01:40 group the PKK.
