Earlier, TRT Haber reported that with 99.9% of the ballots counted, Erdogan had 49.34% of the votes, while Kilicdaroglu had 45%. Erdogan told his supporters in Ankara late on Sunday night that he still had hope of winning in the first round with over 50% since votes from abroad had not all been processed.
According to the latest state TV tally, with 67.33% of the ballots processed from abroad, Erdogan, who was nominated by the ruling Justice and Development Party and its coalition partner, the Nationalist Movement Party, has 55.36%, while Kemal Kilicdaroglu, put forward by a six-party opposition alliance, has 41.26%.
