Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has won another term, securing an outright majority according to official results. The elections are the first held under a new system which gives the president expansive powers.

    

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was declared the winner of presidential*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* elections on Sunday, ushering in a new political system that dramatically expands his powers.

Erdogan won an "absolute majority" of votes, the head of the Supreme Election Council, Sadi Guven, confirmed early Monday, after the opposition cast doubt over the election results.  

The snap elections called by Erdogan were the first time Turkish voters had been to the polls for parliamentary and presidential elections*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* following an April 2017 referendum that approved changing Turkey from a parliamentary to presidential system.  

The new system gives the president expansive powers that critics and the West say sound the death knell for Turkish democracy.

Victory speech

"Our people have given us the job of carrying out the presidential and executive posts," Erdogan said on television from Istanbul before*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* heading to Ankara to address party supporters. "I hope nobody will try to cast a shadow on the results and harm democracy in order to hide their own failure." 

With more than 95 percent of ballot boxes opened, Erdogan had secured around 53 percent of the presidential vote, enough to avoid a second round runoff, according to election results published on state media Anatolia Agency. Presidential contender Muharrem Ince of the Republican People's Party (CHP) had 31 percent of the presidential vote.

Other Erdogan rivals, Meral Aksener of the right-wing Good Party and the imprisoned Selahattin Demirtas*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), each had around 8 percent.

Main rival Ince only conceded defeat on Monday morning, several hours after the unofficial results were published.

Speaking at the headquarters of the center-left Republican People's Party (CHP) party, Ince addressed*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* Erdogan directly asking him to "represent 80 million," referring to the entire population of Turkey.

"You are the president of us all," he said.

At the same time, Ince slammed the vote as "unfair" and "marred by blood," and warned Turkey was slipping towards one-man rule.

Ince also ejected a TV crew from the state-funded broadcaster TRT from his press conference, accusing them of bias.

"You didn't broadcast my three major rallies. Please*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* just leave," Ince told them before starting the speech.

Erdogan's alliance wins, but his AKP loses majority

Erdogan's People's Alliance, which includes his Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the ultra-nationalist Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), combined were on pace to win 54 percent of the vote for parliament, according to Anatolia. That is enough to give the two parties a 343 seat majority in the 600-seat parliament, according to early results.

Voters in Istanbul pleased with Erdogan election victory

However, the AKP secured only about 42 percent, meaning with 293 seats it lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in nearly*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* a decade and a half. Meanwhile, MHP appeared to do far better than polls and political observers had anticipated with about 11 percent support.

"The electorate has decisively approved Erdogan as president as well as his presidential system, but with one caveat, they did not give AKP a majority in the parliament," Kemal Kirisci, the director of the Turkey Project at the Brookings Institution, said. "This will weaken Erdogan’s strongman rule and force his hand to seek shifting coalitions, leaving the opposition to play a role of checks and balances."

The opposition National Alliance grouping together with the nationalist Good Party, secularist CHP and a small Islamic-leaning party were set to win 34 percent of the vote.

Crucially, the left-wing HDP was on track to win 11 percent of the vote, suggesting that some non-Kurdish voters may have strategically*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* voted for the party. Under Turkey's complex electoral rules, if the HDP had failed to clear the 10 percent threshold nearly all of its seats would have gone to the AK Party.

Voter turnout for the election was a high 87 percent. More than 59 million Turkish citizens, including about 3 million living abroad (mainly in Germany), were eligible to take part.

  WHO IS TURKEY'S RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN?

  The rise of Turkey's Erdogan

  In Turkey and abroad, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has a polarizing effect. He has been described as a neo-Ottoman "sultan" as well as an authoritarian leader. From his early beginnings campaigning for Islamist causes to leading NATO's second largest military as the president of Turkey, DW explores the rise of the Turkish leader.

Blow to opposition

For the opposition, Sunday's vote was viewed as a last chance to reverse 16 years of increasingly authoritarian rule by Erdogan and his AKP. The elections had originally been scheduled for November 2019, but Erdogan*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* brought them forward. Polls leading up to the vote had indicated that Erdogan might not win the first round, but would likely win the presidency in a second round runoff against Ince. 

Supporters of Erdogan were quick to celebrate his victory

The opposition alliance and HDP had hoped to at least capitalize on economic and political discontentto prevent the AKP-led alliance with the MHP from securing a majority in the now considerably weakened parliament.

Having come short of expectations, "a great deal now hinges on how the opposition chooses to respond and what happens to the enormous*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* energy generated by the opposition campaign," Nicholas Danforth, a senior policy analyst at the Bipartisan Policy Center, said. 

Meanwhile, Erdogan still faces a range of economic and diplomatic problems, "having promised his supporters that he will now have the power to resolve them single-handedly," Danforth said.  

Ultra-nationalists surprise

One of the big suprises of the election was that the MHP did so well. The party had been written off when the ultra-nationalists*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* splintered, with Aksener forming the Good Party due to the backing MHP leader Devlet Bahceli has given to Erdogan.  

"The MHP number is shocking," Aaron Stein, a senior resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, said. 

The MHP's success shows that Erdogan made the right calculation to join forces with the ultra-nationalists under new electoral rules that allowed alliances.

However, the electorial coalitions don't necessarily transfer into parliament, and the suprising extent*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* of the MHP's gains now gives it the potential to play a key role in parliament.  

Alternatively, only 8 seats short of a majority in parliament, the AK Party could attempt to poach seats from other parties to gain a one-party majority in parliament and rule without the MHP.

  CHARTING TURKEY'S SLIDE TOWARDS AUTHORITARIANISM

  July 2007: Abdullah Gul becomes Turkey's first Islamist president

  After years of free market reforms, Turkey's transition slowly begins to reverse. Islamist Abdullah Gul's candidacy as president in 2007 marks a clear shift away from secularist policies, and strains relations between the ruling AKP and the military. However, with broad support from both conservative Muslims and liberals, the AKP wins the parliamentary elections and Gul is elected president.

'Unfair playing field'

In the run-up to the vote, the opposition had expressed concerns over possible fraud due to recent changes*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875* in the electoral law and allegations of irregularities in the April 2017 constitutional election.

Alongside international observers, opposition parties and NGOs deployed up to half a million people at polling stations to monitor the election.

The campaign was also run in an environment where the AK Party and Erdogan held incumbent advantages, with massive resources, the*I urgently need support and donations.My name is Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,my bank acct.no is:4240853014,my bank is FCMB in Nigeria,my facebook acct. is www.facebook.com/chekwube.anyasoro.1,my phone no. is:+2349092171875*ower of the state and domination over the media. The country is still under a state of emergency implemented in the wake of the July 2016 failed coup attempt.
