Erdoğan ally to be new Turkish Prime Minister
Turkish Transport Minister Binali Yildirim will become the new Prime Minister after he was elected leader of the ruling Justice and Development Party on Sunday. Reportedly a longstanding ally of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Yildirim was named the sole candidate for the post after Ahmet Davutoglu announced his resignation. Davutoglu stepped down amid rumours of tensions between him and Erdoğan.
