It went to a run-off after a very tight first round, but Recep Tayyip Erdogan has emerged the clear winner of Turkey’s presidential election.

After overcoming probably the biggest political challenge he has ever faced, he will hope his third term will further tighten his grip on power.

Opponents have expressed dismay, with the poll results starkly reflecting deep political divisions in the country.

So what can we expect from President Erdogan’s third term?

And what will it mean for his country’s international relations?
