Background: On May 14th, 2023, the first round of the Turkish presidential election will be held. A second round will be held if no candidate reaches 50% of the votes.
Will Erdogan get a plurality of the votes in the first presidential election, as determined by the Supreme Election Council?
This could mean outright winning in the first round, or getting less than 50% of the vote but still more than any other candidate.

I believe this market can resolve YES based on the official count https://secim.aa.com.tr/
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has 49.35% of the votes
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has 44.98% of the votes
Even if 100% of the remaining 2.33% of uncounted ballots go to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu - the proportion between those two would still be 48.2% : 47:3%
Therefore, at this point it's guaranteed that Erdoğan has strictly more votes than Kılıçdaroğlu. Although it's not yet guaranteed that he has <50%.
Is this question worded badly or do people think Kilicdaroglu is going to win? I can't tell but I'm changing the wording anyway.
@xyz I misread the question. Had I read your original explanation I should have realised.
