 By Ruzeki, Shadow News 

Hello, 

Our LIVE COVERAGE of the Turkey's general election is now closed. 

Here's a SUMMARY of the Turkey's presidential election. 

A May 28 Runoff has been confirmed! 

A May 28 runoff between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his biggest rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu will decide who becomes Turkey’s next president. 

This is after the Supreme Election Council (YSK) declared the final results. In the Sunday's poll, Recep Tayyip Erdogan took 49.5 percent of the vote, while his main rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, getting 44.89 percent.  

Following the Sunday’s poll, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a tweet, said with the maturity displayed on election day, Turkey has shown the most advanced democratic culture in the world. 

The president thanked his supporters and said that he will emerge victorious in the May 28 runoff. 

In the aftermath of Turkey’s historic elections, a new name is on the lips of political commentators: third-placed presidential candidate Sinan Ogan. 

Sinan Ogan is the nationalist candidate, backed by the ATA Alliance. He secured a 5.17 percent of the votes. 

The support of those voters will be vital as President Erdogan and the opposition leader Kilicdaroglu head to a runoff on May 28. 

On Monday, Sinan Ogan, 55, said they have not decided which candidate to support. He signalled that he won't support a candidate with terrorism ties.
