Turkey is likely headed for a run-off after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s vote share dropped just under the 50 percent threshold needed to win with nearly all the votes counted while the opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who was projected by opinion polls to win, managed to garner 45 percent of the ballots.

Erdogan, 69, said he would respect the nation’s decision if the race went to a run-off scheduled for May 28. His main challenger in Sunday’s elections, 74-year-old Kilicdaroglu, admitted that a run-off seemed inevitable.
