Election count shows Turkey's Erdogan under threshold needed to avoid presidential election runoff
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's state-run news agency says voter support for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has dipped below the majority required to win reelection outright, making a May 28 runoff presidential election more likely. With almost 91% of ballot boxes counted, Erdogan had 49.9% of the vote, according to the Anadolu Agnecy. His main challenger, opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, had 44.4% as the gap between the two shrank. Votes from Sunday's election are still getting counted across Turkey.
