More than 99% of the ballots in Turkey’s election have been counted, according to the results, and no contender has been able to get more than 50% of the vote.
According to Reuters and Economik, the two front-runners in the Turkish presidential election, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Kemal Kilchdaroglu, are getting ready for the second round of voting.
The electoral commission of Turkey has published the results of the election, showing that 99.38 percent of the ballots have been counted and that Recep Tayyip Erdogan has received 49.42 percent of the vote, but he has not met the requirements for victory.
Kemal Kilchdaroglu, Erdoan’s fierce adversary, received 44.96% of the vote, while Sinan Oghan, the third contender, received 5.2%.
If a candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, they are declared the winner of the election. Since it appears that none of the candidates in the first round were able to achieve this feat, the two front-runners for the second round of voting, which will take place on May 28, are getting ready.
