Erdogan hails election victory but Turkey left divided
President Erdogan ended with just over 52% of the vote based on near-complete unofficial results.
He barely dented his rival's first-round lead, falling more than two million votes behind.
Ultimately he was no match for the well-drilled Erdogan campaign, even if he took the president to Turkey's first run-off vote.
Complaining of "the most unfair election in recent years", Mr Kilicdaroglu said the president's political party had mobilised all the means of the state against him.
The opposition leader did not explicitly concede victory.
But his call for unity sounded hollow as he ridiculed his opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, and took aim at a jailed Kurdish leader.
"The entire nation of 85 million won," he told cheering crowds outside his enormous palace on the edge of Ankara.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's supporters celebrated well into the night after Turkey's long-time president secured another five years in power.

State Farm has stopped accepting homeowner insurance applications in California
State Farm has stopped accepting homeowner insurance applications in California, citing the growing risk from catastrophes like wildfires and the rising cost to rebuild.
"State Farm General Insurance Company made this decision due to historic increases in construction costs outpacing inflation, rapidly growing catastrophe exposure, and a challenging reinsurance market," the insurance giant said in a statement on Friday.
"It's necessary to take these actions now to improve the company's financial strength," the company added.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, State Farm was the leading company offering home insurance in California.
The decision to forgo coverage went into effect on Saturday. It applies to both personal and business properties.
