President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is leading the polls with 91.93% of the votes counted so far, the head of Turkey's Supreme Election Council said early Monday.
In a televised speech, council chief Ahmet Yener said Erdogan had received 49.49% of the vote, while his main challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, received 44.79%.
The third presidential candidate, Sinan Ogan, an ultra-nationalist allied with Erdogan, has received 5.29%, Yener said.
Votes are still being counted, Yener emphasized.
If no candidate wins a majority, they will go to a second vote — which would be a first for Erdogan.

Do you guys think remaining 8.07% uncounted vote can still change the outcome in favor of opposition candidate?

 

[akrepon]

Do you guys think remaining 8.7% uncounted vote can still change the outcome in favor of opposition candidate?

Nope.

Not much. The election most likely(if not Erdogan wins) will go to the second round.

Only question is how much behind will KK go to the second round if it will go to the second round.

I knew the chances of opposition winning were diminished the moment Kilictaroglu announced himself as candidate. Iyi party bitching about it didnt help either, they should have known their candidate beforehand before making a public outcry. Erdo will rule many years with this voter base and such a dumb opposition.
Well congrats to erdogan supporters and much patience to the rest of the country, kilictaroglus love for seat gave away a historic chance...

Im surprised how the Turkish political system has no term limits also I just found out Australia also has no term limits for PM.

Hence why John Howard stayed as pm for 11 years.

Interesting stuff but isnt it better term limits are introduced?

Whats people's opinion on this?

Turkey had term limit now.only 2 term limit for cumhurbaşkan now.RTE is a specıal case.He didnt count the term before 2018

And for parliamentary system,never had any term limits ın whole world

Lıke Abe in japan,Angela Merkel ın germany,Netanyahu ın Israel. Margaret Thatcher ın UK. They all almost 10years or longer.

So when 2014 RTE chose presidential system wıth term limit ı was surprise because He can unlımıt term wıth AKP

There was a term limit even when he was the prime minister, he changed the government to a presidential system so when he was elected president, his term count reset.

What's with the videos of tear gas fired at empty streets ?

In my knowledge No official term limit when he was the prime minister.

Just a 3 term limit within AKP.He can overcome it easily.

If i wrong correct me.Süleyman Demirel 10years and İsmet İnonu PM 16years

UK,Japan,German.... PM also no term limit

 

[Bozan]

It looks like an AKP win with parliamentary majority and Erdogan takes the presidency

4 more years

Basically Tayyip is a smart man.

Exploits loopholes to his favour.

Shows how democracy is full of loopholes.

Dont hate the player hate the game.

How he gets away with it is the big question.

I watched the news again guess what Tayyip Erdogan started singing to the crowd in Ankara

 

[Asena_great]

Exploits loopholes to his favour.

give me the exact name of the loophole in the constitution. which item allows him to run for the 3rd term ? give me the name

 

[Bozan]

In the meantime, an important detail is that RTE easily won the provinces affected by the earthquake and even the regions most affected by irregular migration(except Istanbul). It is necessary to think long and hard about the sociological reasons for this.

Big questions about this. AKP won large support in the poorest areas.

 

[Ryder]

Halktv the Chps own Ahaber is salty and coping.

These dumbasses could have easily critised why KK is the candidate.

But instead are asking how did RTE win.

Pathetic garbage none of these channels would question their parties and their leaders.

 

[Tsenal]

When I said "reset" I meant that his term limit as the prime minister didn't count when he became president. His term limit was up as the prime minister, so he became the president and changed the constitution to a presidential system.

There are only 27 unopened local ballot boxes left. Counting votes from foreign countries continues Erdoğan probably needs around 300-400k votes to win. IMHO Erdo has %49 chance to win the first round.
