The Chairman of Turkey's Supreme Election Council (YSK), Ahmet Yener, announced the official results, confirming Erdogan's win and paving the way for his continued rule until 2028, extending his tenure to 20 years.

According to Chairman Yener, Erdogan secured the presidency with an impressive 52.14% of the votes.

“Even if all of the results that have not been entered into the system yet go to a presidential candidate, the results will not change,” he said.

Erdogan's third term as president grants him an increased level of influence, both domestically and internationally. The ramifications of these election results extend far beyond the capital city of Ankara. Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Türkiye holds a significant role within NATO, further solidifying Erdogan's position on the global stage.

As Erdogan continues his presidency, his leadership will shape the trajectory of Türkiye's future and carry implications for regional and international affairs. The country's pivotal position and Erdogan's prolonged rule underscore the significance of this re-election for Türkiye and the broader geopolitical landscape.
