Well considering he's locked up opposition members . Locked up journalist . and gone after media critical of his party . All before calling this "referendum"(establishment of a dictatorship)

If he wins his next move will likely be

1. Disband or weaken parliament till it's just a puppet . This will ensure that no future political rivals will rise from that quarter

2. Purge the media using dog whistle terms "security" or" concerns about"

Number 1 is a certainty, number 2 has been a reality in Turkey for years under Erdogan. Fun fact, Turkey is the number one state in the world for imprisoning journalists.
