Turkey’s presidential election will be decided in a May 28 run-off vote after incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu failed to win an outright majority in the first round, according to the electoral body.
Erdogan took 49.5 percent of Sunday’s vote, while Kilicdaroglu got 44.89 percent of the vote.
Sinan Ogan of the right-wing ATA Alliance received 5.17 percent, emerging as a potential kingmaker.
Erdogan’s alliance has also retained its hold on the country’s parliament following Sunday’s legislative ballot.
