“Our organization has decided based on the current situation, when no candidate obtains 50% of the votes, to hold the second round of presidential elections on Sunday, May 28,” Yener said. According to him, this is happening for the first time in the history of Turkey.
According to the latest data, announced by the head of the CEC, the incumbent President of the Republics Recep Tayyip Erdogan received 49.51% of the vote, his main rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu – 44.88% and the third participant in the elections Sinan Ogan – 5 .17 percent. However, this is not definitive data, as the out-of-country voting results have not yet been fully factored in. As planned, the results of the elections will be published on May 19 in the official journal.
Recall that on May 14, general elections were held in Türkiye. Three candidates competed for the presidency: Erdogan, Kılıçdaroğlu and Ogan. A few days ago there were four contenders, but on May 11, three days before the elections, Muharrem Ince decided to give up the fight and withdrew his candidacy.
