Erdogan wins Turkish presidential election

"The national will won once again, today democracy won once again. Those who didn't vote for me won as much as those who did, those who don't like me won as much as those who do," the he told his supporters in Ankara, the BBC reported.

"I want to build a new future, with an understanding of a societal reconciliation, by regarding our differences as richness, and by pointing out not our differences but our common values," Erdgogan added.

He ran for president after serving as prime minister since 2003 and being barred from standing for another term, the BBC noted, and added that although the presidency in Turkey has so far been "largely ceremonial" - Erdogan "wants to secure more power for the presidency but his opponents fear increasingly authoritarian rule."

The Nationalist Action Party backed Ihsanoglu, and its leader Devlet Bahceli told Associated Press that Erdogan had won "through chicanery, cheating, deception and trickery."
