Erdoğan looks set for second round in Turkish election as opposition cries foul

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:13:14 GMT

ISTANBUL — President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan looks set to face a second round in Turkey’s presidential election on May 28 after Sunday’s vote descended into heated accusations of foul play from the opposition.Shortly after 1 a.m. local time, with agencies reporting results from almost all of the ballots, Erdoğan appeared to have secured about 49 percent of the vote while his rival for the presidency Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu had about 45 percent.
