Chairman of the Turkish CEC Ahmet Yanor announced Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as the winner of the presidential elections.
On May 28, Turkey held the second round of the presidential elections between the candidate from the “Republicans” coalition, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the “Millet” coalition candidate, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
After counting 99.85% of the ballots, Ahmet Yanor announced Erdoğan’s victory during a press conference in Ankara before declaring the final result.
According to the chairman of the Turkish CEC, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received 52.16 percent of the votes both inside and outside his country, while his opponent Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu received 47.84 percent of the votes.
Separately, 59.39 percent of voters outside Turkey voted for the incumbent president, and 40.61 percent for the candidate from the “Millet” coalition. Inside the country, Erdoğan received 51.91 percent, while Kılıçdaroğlu received 48.09 percent of the votes.
According to the Turkish CEC, the number of voters in the country exceeded 60 million people. 85.71% of the country’s population participated in the election of their future president.
The first round of the presidential elections in Turkey took place on Sunday, May 14 of this year. In it, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan from the “Republic” coalition received 49.52% of the votes, while Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu from the “Millet” coalition received 44.88% of the votes. Sinan Oğan from the O.T.O. coalition received 5.17%, and Muharrem İnce, who withdrew his candidacy a day before the elections, received 0.43% of the votes.
On May 22, during a press conference, Sinan Oğan announced that he would support Erdoğan.
Many analysts believe that the support of Sinan Oğan, who was voted for by more than 2.8 million people, from one of these two candidates—Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu—could play a key role in the presidential elections and the future of Turkey.
