Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants to accept the election results, even if he is defeated.

A day before the elections in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (69) announced that he would accept the result of the vote even in case of defeat. “In Turkey, we come to power by democratic means,” he said in Istanbul on Friday evening. If the nation decides against him on Sunday, he will do “whatever democracy demands”.

However, he assumes that he will be elected for another term and that his alliance will also win the majority in parliament with its 600 MPs, Erdogan said. Erdogan’s alliance, the Islamist conservative AKP, the ultra-nationalist MHP and smaller right-wing and Islamist parties will “respect any result of the ballot box,” he added.

There are elections in Turkey on Sunday. Opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu (74) is leading in most polls, a neck-and-neck race ensues. Observers fear that if the election is close, Erdogan could try to challenge the result. (SDA)
