Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday hurrying to announce election results while the counting goes on would mean stealing people's will, while challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu warned election authorities to log all nationwide results.
"While the election was held in such a positive and democratic atmosphere and the vote counting is still going on, trying to announce results hastily means usurping the national will," Erdogan wrote on Twitter in his first message since voting ended.
Kilicdaroglu said separately on Twitter: "We will not sleep tonight" as he warned that all ballots should be included in the count.
