The results from the Turkish elections have been announced, and it looks like a runoff vote will be needed to decide the next president. The two candidates that will face off in the second round of voting are incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and main opposition candidate Muharrem Ince. Erdogan won the most votes in the first round of voting, but not enough to win outright. Ince came in second place with just over 30 percent of the vote, and the other candidates trailed far behind. This means that Turkey will now be heading to a runoff vote in just over three weeks to decide who will be the country's next president. The outcome of the election could have a major impact on Turkey's future and its relations with the rest of the world.
