Imagine, a Presidential candidate running for office in a political prison in Turkey?

It will be interesting to see how Erdogan the Islamist will handle this.

From a legal standpoint you’d want your candidate to be able to serve if elected.

But an ethnic minority party that gets around 10% of the vote is no threat to come close to winning so what does it matter. Several minor US parties have run candidates for Pres/VP that weren’t eligible.
