On Sunday, millions of voters went to the polls to choose the country's president and members of its 600-seat parliament.

Although President Recep Tayyip Erdogan 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." 

Erdogan expressed confidence 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. 

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."
