28 May 2023 at 17:17 Remarkable early election results in Turkey The ballot boxes in Turkey closed at 16:00 Norwegian time. At a quarter past five, the first election results come in, which are currently shocking. When the first votes were counted, Halk TV wrote that Kemal Kiliçdaroglu had just over 50 percent of the votes and was in the lead. At the same time, the TV channel NTV wrote the opposite – that Erdogan was in the lead. The news agency Andalou writes at 17.45 that Erdogan leads with 54.7 percent of the votes, when 66 percent of the votes have been counted. The small voting districts are counted first. Thus, the numbers may change throughout the evening. The election commission’s leader, Ahmet Yener, says the election has gone more or less smoothly. The commission has so far received no reports of cheating or situations that have affected the voting process, he tells Al Jazeera.
