Erdogan's election win divides Turkey and receives congratulations from UK's Prime Minister.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has secured another five years in power after winning the presidential election with just over 52% of the vote. His opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, did not explicitly concede victory and complained of "the most unfair election in recent years". Almost half of the electorate did not back Erdogan's authoritarian vision of Turkey. Erdogan ridiculed Kilicdaroglu and took aim at a jailed Kurdish leader and pro-LGBT policies in his victory speech. The country remains deeply polarised, and the opposition will have to regroup ahead of local elections in 2024.
