Tayyip Erdogan wins presidential election in Turkey

This was stated by the head of the Supreme Election Council of Turkey, Ahmet Yener.

After opening 99.43% of the ballot boxes, he gets 52.14% of the votes. Erdoğan's rival Kılıçdaroğlu won 47.86% of the vote.

The difference between the candidates is more than two million votes, and the remaining uncounted votes will not change the result, the election commission added.

The state-run Anadolu Agency has favored the current Turkish head of state, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, from the beginning.

The Anka agency, which is close to the opposition, initially called Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu the favorite of the voters, but now declares his second place and the actual victory of Erdogan.
