The race for the Turkish presidency has yet to produce a winner. With his clear lead, incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan is one of the favorites in a likely runoff election on May 28.
No majority achieved: Erdogan voters on Monday night in Ankara.
In the race for the presidency, Turkey faces a runoff election for the first time in its history. According to preliminary results, none of the three candidates received the required absolute majority of votes. Incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan has 49.34 percent, the candidate of the largest opposition alliance, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, has 45 percent and outsider Sinan Ogan has 5.23 percent. That makes the politician from the nationalist Ata Alliance a possible kingmaker for the second round on May 28.
