Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won the majority of votes in Sunday’s high-stakes election, according to election officials -- surviving the most serious challenge yet to his political dominance and tightening his grip on the nation he has ruled for 15 years.
据选举官员们透露，土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安在周日的高风险选举中赢得了多数选票，保住了政治生涯。他当政已有15年，此次选举是史上对他统治和集权的最严峻挑战。
Sadi Guven, Turkey’s Supreme Election Board chief, said 97.7% of the votes were counted and "the votes that have not been tallied so far do not change the outcome."
土耳其最高选举委员会首领萨迪·乌文表示，已统计了97.7%的选票，“目前尚未统计的选票不会影响结果。”
Erdogan had declared himself the winner before the official results were announced. But the opposition cried foul, claiming that state media and the election commission had manipulated the results and saying it was too early to be sure of the outcome.
埃尔多安在官方结果被公布前宣布自己赢得了选举。但是反对派进行了强烈抗议，声称国家媒体和选举委员会操控了结果，并指出确定结果为时尚早。
Erdogan has dominated Turkish politics since his rise as prime minister in 2003 and has transformed the nation. He implemented policies that encouraged sustained economic growth and development, he challenged Turkey’s secular foundations by bringing Islamic conservatism to public life and he gutted public institutions by having tens of thousands of people -- many of them his critics -- arrested after a failed military coup in 2016.
埃尔多安自2003年晋升为总理后就已操控土耳其政治，并推动国家转型。他执行了鼓励经济可持续增长的政策，通过将伊斯兰保守主义带入公众生活挑战了土耳其的世俗根基，同时在2016年未遂军事政变后，通过逮捕数万人（多为他的批评者） ，抽空了公共机构。
