Ahmet Yener, the head of the Supreme Electoral Board, said that even when the remaining 35,874 uncounted overseas votes were distributed, no one would secure the majority needed to win the election outright.
He said preliminary results showed Mr Erdogan won 49.51%, his main challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu won 44.88% and the third candidate Sinan Ogan won 5.17%. Even if all uncounted votes went to Mr Erdogan, his votes would only move up to 49.54%, Mr Yener said. Mr Erdogan, 69, earlier told supporters that he would respect the nation's decision if the race went to a run-off.
