The state Anadolu news agency showed Erdogan at 52.3 per cent, and his challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, at 47.7 per cent.

Meanwhile, the ANKA news agency, close to the opposition, showed the results at 51.5 per cent for Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu at 48.5 per cent.

In Istanbul, Erdogan supporters began celebrating even before the final results arrived, waving Turkish or ruling party flags, and honking car horns.
