Turkey referendum: 'Yes' leads with 52.7% after 90% count of vote

The 'Yes' campaign to give Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expanded powers was just ahead in a tightly-contested referendum on Sunday but the 'No' was closing the gap, according to initial results.

The 'Yes' campaign had won 52.7 percent of the vote while the 'No' campaign had mustered 47.3 percent, the election commission said in figures quoted by state news agency Anadolu, in a count based on more than 90 percent of the ballot boxes.
