Erdoğan claims victory in Turkish election amidst celebrations.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won Turkey's presidential election, securing another five years in power. Erdogan won the runoff vote by 52% to 48%, beating opposition candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Erdogan's victory highlights the polarization in Turkish society, particularly divisions between Islamists and secularists. Opposition supporters argue that the election reflected Erdogan's grip on power, including his near-total influence on the country's media, which is largely controlled by groups friendly toward the governing party.
