Erdogan: Preliminary election results show our progress by a wide margin

May 15, 2023

“We are 2.6 million votes ahead of our closest competitor,” Erdogan said.

Here are the highlights of Erdogan’s speech, which he delivered at dawn today, Monday:

They try to deceive people saying they are advanced. The counting of votes will continue at home and abroad. No one will spoil this election scene with skimpy political calculations. We await final results and expect the numbers to increase with the announcement of official results. We think we will win the first round and if there is a second round we will respect that. The people must remain vigilant until the end of the vote count. The results of the legislative elections show that our alliance obtains the majority. Voters who voted for our coalition in parliament will inevitably side with stability in the presidential elections.
