Turkey’s election likely heading to run-off; Erdogan has the edge

Turkey is likely headed for a run-off after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s vote share dropped just under the 50 percent threshold needed to win with nearly all the votes counted while the opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who was projected by opinion polls to win, managed to garner 45 percent of the ballots.

Erdogan, 69, said he would respect the nation’s decision if the race went to a run-off scheduled for May 28. His main challenger in Sunday’s elections, 74-year-old Kilicdaroglu, admitted that a run-off seemed inevitable.

Everybody know Turkey was Third World Country before Rajab Erdogan and now It is powerful Country. The difference between Erdogan and the opposition Leader is Erdogan is Saying We must depend on ourselves and Manage our own Country and the opposition Leader is Saying we must get rid of Erdogan and his Development and depend on others.

Wow you mean only 2 days and they are done tallying the votes. Is my beloved country Kenya watching this space?

This guy won and the Turkish Lira just lost 10% value. It should tell everyone who voted him that they selected wrong person.
