Erdogan leads with 54% votes in early results for President of Turkiye
Turkiye President Tayyip Erdogan is leading the race for presidential polls with 54 percent votes. If none of the four candidates secured 50 percent of votes, the next round of polling will be held on May 28.
Early results of today’s polling place Erdogan at number 1 with 54 percent votes as against 39 percent votes of his main rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
Interestingly, in the first results from the Turkish elections, President Tayyip Erdogan was way ahead with 59.47 percent votes, but later on, this margin fell to 54.6 percent. This result, however, is based on just 23 percent of the votes polled on Sunday.
But they are based on a small percentage of the vote, 9.1%. On that basis, broadcaster HaberTurk showed Erdogan in the lead with 59.47% compared to opposition rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu with 34.79%.
Erdogan is expected to win this presidential race for the third consecutive term. However, his main rival Kilicdaroglu can give him a tough time in today’s polling.
