A rally held by the Turkish President's main rival has been blacked out by state broadcasters after he dared Erdogan to 'confront him' in a TV debate.  

Recep Tayyip Erdogan', 64, is standing for re-election in tomorrow's presidential vote that could cement Turkey's switch from a parliamentary to a presidential system, which was narrowly approved in a referendum last year.

At a mass rally in the city of Ankara yesterday, Muharrem Ince, a fiery lawmaker from the opposing secular Republican People's Party (CHP) had a message for Erodgan.

'Tomorrow is the last evening.

If you have the courage, confront me,' he said. 

But as he began his speech at another event in Istanbul today he was handed a note saying the broadcast of the rally was 'down' on a state TV channel, which he quickly branded 'sabotage' on Edrogan's part.
