(MENAFN) Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has won more than half the votes in Sunday's presidential election after 97.2 percent of votes have been counted, the head of Turkey's High Electoral Board (YSK) said.
Speaking at the YSK headquarters in Ankara after presidential and parliamentary elections, Sadi Guven also said the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) had passed the 10 percent threshold needed to enter parliament.
With 97.7% of the vote counted, there is no doubt that Erdogan, who has been in power since 2003, has renewed his mandate.
This means he has been sitting on interest rates, opting for a monetary policy that prioritizes growth over controlling inflation.
