Opposition says a runoff confirmed

Faik Oztrak, the deputy chairman of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), has said preliminary official results indicate there will now certainly be a runoff.

Just 300 ballot boxes are yet to be counted, he said in televised remarks, and there are not enough votes there to swing the election in Erdogan's favour this round.

Erdogan vs Kilicdaroglu II will be held on 28 May.
