Erdogan loses absolute majority, may need second round in Turkish presidential elections

With 89 percent of the votes counted, the current president Recep Tayyip Erdogan leads the Turkish presidential election. This is reported by Turkish state media. His main challenger, Kemal Kiliçdaroglu, contradicts that on Twitter. It is increasingly likely that none of the candidates will receive more than 50 percent of the vote for victory.
