ANKARA: Turkey’s incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is winning 51.92% of votes at Sunday’s runoff presidential polls after counting 99.99% of ballots, the Anadolu news agency reported, citing the Supreme Election Council data.
According to the agency, Erdogan’s rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, is scoring 48.08%. It also said that some 400,000 ballots are yet to be counted but they will change the situation.
The opposition candidate was supported in northwestern regions, in Istanbul, on the western coast, including in Izmir, and in southwestern provinces, including Antalya. He also led the race in the Kurds-populated southeastern provinces but support here decreased as compared with the first round of voting on May 14.
