May 15, 2023 - Türkiye is heading for a runoff presidential election after neither Recep Tayyip Erdoğan nor rival Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu cleared the 50% threshold to win outright.
With 98.6 percent of votes counted (06:52GMT), Turkey’s Supreme Election Council said that Erdoğan has won 49.9 percent of the vote, only narrowly shy of the 50 percent needed for an outright win. Kılıçdaroğlu has secured 44.9 percent, disappointing a poll consensus that he had a narrow lead. Sinan Ogan, receives 5.3% and is eliminated from the race
