Turkey's Presidential Election Heads to Run-Off with Erdogan in the Lead.
TL;DR Summary

Erdogan said he would respect the nation's decision if the race went to a run-off scheduled for May 28. The election largely centred on the economy, civil rights and February earthquakes that killed more than 50,000 people.
