Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak congratulated Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on winning the Turkish parliamentary elections.

"Congratulations, Recep Tayyip Erdogan on winning the Turkish elections. I look forward to continue strengthening Malaysia-Turkey bilateral relations," he said in his latest entry in his Twitter and Facebook websites.

Turkey's long-dominant Justice and Development Party (AKP) was poised to win back a clear parliamentary majority on Sunday.

The party founded by Erdogan had around 51 per ent of the votes, with more than 80 per cent of ballots counted.

It would give it 325 seats in the 550-seat parliament, well ahead of its three main rival parties, and easily enough to form a government on its own.
