Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan to lead the country during a runoff. <\/p>\n

Erdogan won 52.14 percent of votes in the presidential runoff against his rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who garnered 47.86 percent of the votes.<\/p>\n

In the first round of the presidential election on May 14, Erdogan earned 49.52 percent of the vote while Kilicdaroglu received 44.88 percent.<\/p>\n

Neither secured more than 50 percent of the votes needed to call a winner in the first round, therefore an election runoff was held for the first time for the presidency.<\/p>\n

The third-place candidate, nationalist politician Sinan Ogan, with 5.17 percent of votes, announced his endorsement of Erdogan in the runoff where only the two most supported were able to race.<\/p>\n

Erdogan\u2019s People\u2019s Alliance, composed of the ruling Justice and Development Party and Nationalist Movement Party, garnered a majority of 323 seats in the 600-seat parliament in the parliament election, while the six-party opposition block Nation Alliance received 212 seats.<\/p>\n

The twin elections saw a high voter turnout at 86.98 percent, with almost 54 million citizens going to the polls.<\/p>\n

Erdogan, who has been leading the country since he became prime minister in 2003, became the first president of T\u00fcrkiye in 2018 following a constitutional referendum in 2017 which changed T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s parliamentary system into a presidential system.<\/p>\n
