Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan casts his ballot at a polling station in Istanbul, Turkey, May 14, 2023.
Preliminary results from Turkey’s presidential election, on Sunday, May 14, showed President Tayyip Erdogan ahead with 59.47 per cent compared to opposition rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, with 34.79 per cent.
Pollsters, however, expected the gap to narrow in the tight contest.
HaberTurk and other Turkish broadcasters said the results, given less than two hours after polling stations closed, were based on 9.1 per cent of the ballot boxes counted.

The head of Turkey’s High Election Board earlier lifted a publication ban and said to wait until it announces official tentative results later.
Pre-election polls had given the edge to Kilicdaroglu, who pledges to roll back much of Erdogan’s two-decade legacy.
