Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an interview with CNN on Friday that he will not run for a third presidential term if he is re-elected.
“According to the current regulations, the President can be elected only twice. My first term has ended, now the elections for the second term are underway. If I am re-elected for a second term, this process will be successfully completed,” the President said, noting that he cannot preside over Turkey until 2033.
According to the final results of the Supreme Electoral Council of Turkey, Erdogan received 49.52 percent of valid votes, Kılıçdaroğlu - 44.88 percent, Ogan - 5.17 percent, and İnce - 0.43 percent.
