Elections in Turkey, Erdogan ahead of his rival Kilicdaroglu

Until the moment of publication of this news, according to the Turkish state television, TRT, more than two thirds of the ballot boxes have been counted and President Recep Erdogan continues to lead with more than 51% of the votes. But results may vary.

The candidate of the united opposition, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, according to the announcement of TRT, received about 43% of the votes.

If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the winner will be determined in a runoff on May 28. Meanwhile in Istanbul, until the publication of this news, the initial results also show the superiority of President Erdogan.

The Turkish television NTV announces that Mr. Erdogan has so far received 53% of the votes. Opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu took 41% of the vote, although the gap is expected to narrow as counting continues in Turkey's largest city, Istanbul. Until the publication of this news, 36.3% of the ballot boxes have been counted.

Four Turkish opposition sources said they believed Mr Kilicdaroglu was leading by a narrow margin.

The spokesman for Mr. Kilicdaroglu's center-left party warned that the initial results were not conclusive and added that the data was in fact "extremely positive" for the opposition.

64 million Turks with the right to vote will elect the president and 600 members of the country's parliament. The election has been described as one of the most difficult tests for Mr. Erdogan's twenty-year rule and among the most important elections in Turkey's 100-year history.

The vote will determine not only who leads Turkey, a NATO member country of 85 million people, but also how that country is governed. Turkey is currently experiencing a deep economic crisis while Turkey's diplomacy has taken unpredictable turns.
