Turkey’s AKP leads vote according to early results
Turkey’s long-dominant Justice and Development Party (AKP) founded by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is leading in the crucial parliamentary election, according to preliminary results.
The AKP had more than 53 percent of the vote with 42 percent of the ballot boxes opened, CNN-Turk television reports. Opinion polls predicted the party would win about 40-43 percent, short of the vote needed to ensure a parliamentary majority.
