the last few minutes of the official result. the turkish electoral body so that they have counted 99.4% of the votes, which had given erdogan 52% 50 2.4% of the the votes, which had given erdogan 52% 50 2.4% of the vote. he needed more than 50%, more than half to remain in power in turkey. kilicdaroglu. when he spoke earlier, his words were received here on the streets of istanbul and by his supporters a. i would like to thank each and every member of our nation who has once again given us the responsibility of governing the country for the next five years. it was difficult for kilicdaroglu. he was really the antiestablishment character. the antique kilicdaroglu candidate. he formed a table of six, with all of these different parties led by the chp. they were seeking to unseat president erdogan. he made a speech before the result was officially confirmed. he did not concede the presidency, but talked about dark days ahead for turkey. my real sadness is for the difficulty
is a state agency controlled by erdogan, has a wide sweep. the other is in opposition leaning news agency. both of them now are reporting the same result which is that president erdogan looks like he is about to get another five years in power. he has gone over that 50% line which is needed to be turkey s next president. kilicdaroglu, his challenger has been speaking this evening in ankara, talking about dark days ahead, he says the turkey. people have been taken aggravating here all day. as soon as soon as abating finished at five o clock, those ballot boxes were opened and the votes were counted. we expected it, always, to be a quick process can lead to two weeks ago, the first presidential election, which was also wrapped in with parliamentary elections. that time around, we saw queues at polling stations because the ballot paper were so long that some people were struggling to fold it up and squeeze it into the envelope they had to put it in to make it official. this time
they main issue in the first i quite call it right? i think that . they main issue in the first round was that. whether polls got it wrong. two things are underestimated. or miscalculated. firstly, the turnout for kilicdaroglu s supporters and adam and s supporters. the turnout was around 88%. when you look at it on a district level. kilicdaroglu s supporters turned out less and in the first one. it was. the impact of the fighting terrorism rhetoric that erdogan proposed. whereby he proposed that if kilicdaroglu were to win, he would not fight terrorism as well as he could. the impact of those two things were under calculated. i those two things were under calculated- those two things were under calculated. i wonder about. obviously. calculated. i wonder about. obviously, you calculated. i wonder about. obviously, you are calculated. i wonder about. obviously, you are an - calculated. i wonder about. - obviously, you are an economist. i wonder about mr adam and s handling
things were underestimated. one. well, miscalculated. first was the turnout for kemal kilicdaroglu supporters and for erdogan supporters. the turnout on the average was around 88%, but when you look at it at a district level, it would be seen that kilicdaroglu supporters turned out less in the first round in comparison to mr erdogan. and the second one was obviously. it was miscalculated, under calculated, let s say, the impact of the fighting terrorism rhetoric that erdogan proposed whereby he said that if kilicdaroglu were to win, he would not fight terrorism as good as he could. so, those things were under calculated by the polls in the first round. i wonder about, obviously your specialism is as an economist, wonder about mr erdogan s handling of the economy because some people wonder about mr erdogan s handling of the economy because some people
