This reflected the high civic engagement and the conscious desire of the people to directly participate in the further process of democratic reforms in Turkmenistan.
According to the preliminary results, the greatest number of votes – 97.69 percent – was obtained by the incumbent President of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
Currently, the final popular vote count is being conducted, with consideration of data from several polling stations at Turkmenistan’s diplomatic and consular missions abroad, specifically, protocols that are being delivered with delay due to the time difference in the countries located in different time zones.
