Erdogan falls short of outright win, round 2 next: Top updates on Turkey polls

As Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan faced his toughest election test in two decades, he defied pollsters coming within a fraction of a percentage point of winning presidential ballot. The process moves to a runoff on May 28 between Erdogan and his much-touted rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu. Amid Turkey's most dire economic crisis since the 1990s, Erdogan retained control of parliament and even won in regions hit by the deadly February earthquake that claimed more than 50,000 lives.
