Following our internal consultations, I want to announce that I will support the presidential candidate of the People's Alliance, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in the second round. I also call on my electors to endorse Mr. Erdogan, Ogan said at a press conference.

奥甘在新闻发布会上表示：“经过内部磋商，我想宣布，我将在第二轮投票中支持人民联盟总统候选人雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安。我也呼吁我的选民支持埃尔多安先生。”

Erdogan received 49.52 percent of the votes in the first round on May 14 and will race against Nation Alliance's presidential candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who had secured 44.88 percent of the votes.
