ANKARA, Turkey - There are no delays in the entry of data from Turkey’s Sunday general election, the head of the nation’s elections authority said on Sunday.

"There are currently no disruptions or delays in data entry by the Supreme Electoral Board," Ahmet Yener told reporters about the results of the May 14 presidential and parliamentary elections, currently still being counted after polls closed about six hours earlier.

Currently, 47.08 per cent of the votes nationwide have been entered, he said, adding that 12.6 per cent of foreign votes also have been entered into the system.

"Our data is also being shared instantly with political parties," he was reported as saying by Anadolu. - BERNAMA-ANADOLU
