In a tough race, Erdogan is re-elected
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey beat the opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu in a runoff yesterday with 52.1 percent of the vote, according to Turkey’s Supreme Election Council, assuring the mercurial leader another five years in power.
Erdogan, who has vexed his Western allies in NATO while tightening his grip on the Turkish state, could remain in power for at least a quarter-century. His victory deepens his conservative imprint on Turkish society, as he pursues his vision of a country with increasing economic and geopolitical might.
His supporters shrugged off Turkey’s challenges, including a looming economic crisis, and lauded him for enhancing the country’s status as a Muslim power with 85 million people and critical ties across continents. Thousands gathered outside the presidential palace in Ankara, waiving red and white Turkish flags.
Victory speech: “It is not only us who won, it is Turkey,” Erdogan said to raucous applause. “It is our nation that won with all its elements. It is our democracy.”
Opposition: Kilicdaroglu told his supporters that he did not contest the vote count but that the election overall had been unfair, nevertheless. In the run-up to the vote, Erdogan tapped state resources to tilt the playing field in his favor.
