We now look almost certain for a runoff, with Erdogan still short of the 50 percent threshold.
The president has received 49.4 percent of the vote, Supreme Election Council head Ahmet Yener announced this morning.
Kilicdaroglu received 44.96 percent, while Sinan Ogan had 5.2 percent of the vote share. With 99 percent of ballots opened, we are headed for a runoff on 28 May as things stand.
