Millions of voters went to the polls on May 14 to elect the country’s president and members of its 600-seat parliament.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s People’s Alliance won a majority in parliament, while the presidential race is headed to a second round on May 28.
In the first round held on May 14, no candidate won an outright majority, although Erdogan was leading.
Erdogan will face Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the main opposition CHP and joint candidate for the six-party opposition Nation Alliance, in the runoff vote.
