TURKEY is headed for a run-off vote in two weeks' time, after neither Recep Tayyip Erdogan nor his main challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu won an outright majority in Sunday's election.
The results reflect the deep polarization in a country at a political crossroads.
Erdogan has led the NATO member for twenty years and the vote was seen as a verdict on his increasingly authoritarian path.
Kilicdaroglu, who leads a six-party opposition alliance determined to unseat him, urged his supporters to be patient and accused Erdogan's party of interfering with the counting and reporting of results.
He said he will win in the runoff against Erdogan.
Erdogan, who performed better than pre-election polls had predicted, appeared in a confident and combative mood.
