Turkey’s presidential elections will go into a second round as incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has fallen just short of a victory.
The high-stakes election will decide the fate of the NATO country and whether or not it will remain under the increasingly authoritarian President's grip or will take a new democratic path.
Preliminary results show that Erdogan won 49.51%, his main challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu won 44.88% and the third candidate Sinan Ogan won 5.17%.
