Erdogan appeared to celebrate his victory outside his Istanbul home before the results were made official, singing loudly from atop a campaign bus. He praised the country in front of a sizable group of delighted supporters waving the Turkish flag.
He thanked the citizens for gifting everyone with a day of democracy. He said all the 85 million citizens of the nation are the winners of the election.
After early results put Erdogan in the lead, hundreds of supporters gathered outside the Justice and Development (AK) Party’s Istanbul headquarters. Some others brought their kids, while others waved flags, honked horns, and let off pyrotechnics and flares.
Turkey is now a highly divided country as a result of Erdogan’s triumph over Kilicdaroglu, a 74-year-old bureaucrat and leader of the left-leaning CHP.
UFC Legend Khabib Nurmagomedov has also given his best wishes to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on his victory.
