Erdogan is the longest-serving leader in Turkey
The 99.66% of ballots that have been counted show that Erdogan received 52.13 % of the votes and his rival Kemal Kucdaroglu received 47.87%. According to the results of the vote counted thus far, 84.3% of voters participated in the election.
Erdogan won 27,579 votes, while Kemal Kulcdaroglu received 25,324,254.
In the second round, 64 197 419 people were eligible to vote.
The voting in the 81 Turkish districts was conducted without major incidents or violations. Five people were arrested by the Istanbul General Prosecutor’s Office only in the afternoon for spreading provocative social media posts about the second round presidential elections.
In the same district where he lives, Recep Erdogan voted as he did in the first round. The section was again crowded with people who had waited in the rain for hours for the president. Erdogan, 69 years old, cast his vote with his wife Emine and said that he expected results to be announced quickly, as only two candidates would be voted on.
“For the very first time in Turkish democracy’s history, we are witnessing the second round of presidential elections.” Erdogan said that there have been no elections in history where so many people voted.
Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, congratulated Recep Erdoan on his victory in the run-off election in Turkey. Erdogan received 52.1% of the votes, while his opponent Kemal Kucdaroglu received 47.9%.
The message of the Russian President stated that “the election victory is a result of the selfless and tireless work as head of state for Turkey.”
Viktor Orban, the Hungarian prime minister, wrote on social media: “Congratulations President Erdogan on his undisputed win.” The Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeiba had also sent his congratulations earlier, as the vote counting continued.
The President of Iran congratulated Recep Erdoan as well. Ebraim Raisi called his likeness “a sign of continued trust by the people of Turkey.”
Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s president, congratulated Recep Erdogan “his brother and his friend” on his “triumph”. Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani congratulated Erdogan as well.

On November 7, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew sent a congratulatory letter to the newly elected US President Donald Trump, wishing him health, strength and success in his upcoming second presidential term.
“Recognizing the enormous responsibilities of such a leadership position, we pray that your decisions will be guided by wisdom and compassion, as well as by the strength necessary to maintain harmony and security in your great and God-protected nation,” noted Patr. Bartholomew:
“The Ecumenical Patriarchate, with its ancient history and its fundamental commitment to dialogue and reconciliation, remains a constant supporter of all efforts to promote peace and understanding between people of different cultures and beliefs. We hope that under your leadership the United States will continue to support the cause of religious freedom and human dignity – values that resonate deeply in the Orthodox Christian tradition and all faith communities,” the congratulatory letter said.

The last of Russia’s major state-owned banks, which retains access to the SWIFT system for international payments in the world’s major currencies, will become subject to new US sanctions.
The White House is considering blacklisting Gazprombank, the Russian Federation’s third-largest bank by assets, which is a “hub” for gas payments with Europe. As the Nikkei reported, citing officials familiar with the matter, GPB could be subject to blocking sanctions: it would be barred from any transactions with US banks. A decision on sanctions will be made by the end of November – the United States has notified its G7 partners about this, sources told the publication, including high-ranking European officials.
Directly owned by Gazprom with a third and another 40% by its pension fund, Gazprombank is not yet subject to strict Western restrictions: in the United States it is only prohibited from raising capital on the debt market, although its top managers and a subsidiary are subject to blocking sanctions IT company. In the European Union, GPB also avoids blacklists, and only Britain has introduced blockers against the bank.
