Turkey’s battle for the presidency looks set to go to a run-off, with both contenders adamant they have victory in their grasp.

Turkey’s Supreme Election Council says Erdogan is on 49.49% of the vote, with his rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu on 44.79%, with nearly all the votes counted.

If neither man secures 50%, there will be a second poll in two weeks’ time. 

This election comes at a crucial time for the country, which is struggling with high inflation and recently suffered devastating earthquakes.
