Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he feels confident in emerging victorious in the next round of presidential elections after falling less than half of a percent short as counting was finalized on Monday. 

Erdogan said on Twitter, "The 14 May elections, one of the elections with the highest participation in our history, took place in a festive atmosphere befitting our democracy."

Although the President was unable to secure the win in the first round, marking the country's first-ever run-off which Turkey's Supreme Elections Council scheduled for May 28, Erdogan believed that the election marked a victory for "Turkish democracy and the Turkish Nation." 

Tarihimizin en yüksek katılımlı seçimlerinden biri olan 14 Mayıs seçimleri, aziz milletimizin basiret ve ferasetiyle demokrasimize yakışır bir şölen havası içinde gerçekleşmiştir.…

— Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (@RTErdogan) May 15, 2023

The leader of the Justice and Development Party pointed to the 27 million votes he received saying that the Turkish people showed  "great favor" towards his political party, adding that they "gave the majority in the Turkish Grand National Assembly to the People's Alliance, confirming that they trust us and our Alliance."

Erdogan believed that he "will emerge victorious from the 28 May election by increasing" the number of votes he received in the first round.
