This ends our live coverage of the Turkish general election. It was a momentous day for President Erdogan's AK Party, which regained its majority in parliament comfortably.

The pro-Kurdish HDP also won seats, though it did better in the June election. But the Islamist-rooted AKP remains Turkey's dominant political force.

Mr Erdogan now hopes to boost the powers of the presidency through a constitutional change.

In other party news, the leader of the nationalist MHP has denied reports that he would resign following a poor election result, according to AP.

The party lost almost half of the seats it had won in the June election, though it will still take seats in parliament.

"All of our party cadres are continuing their duty with patience, determination (and) devotion," MHP leader Devlet Bahceli said. 

A bit more from Mr Davutoglu, who says the nation has voted for stability and vows to lead Turkey "out of polarisation".

The leader of the main opposition party in Turkey, the CHP, has responded to the election results, warning the ruling party to stick to the rule of law. 

"We increased our votes, but we don't consider this as an achievement. Coming to power would have been an achievement," AP quotes Kemal Kilicdarogl as saying.

Mr Kilicdarogl also said he believed the results may have been different had it not been for the recent spate of violence in the country.

His party won 25.4%, coming second to the AKP which took 49.4% of votes cast.

According to Turkey's Anadolu news agency, the division of seats in the 550-seat parliament is likely to be as follows:

AKP (Islamist-rooted) - 316

CHP (centre-left secularist) - 134

HDP (pro-Kurdish) - 59

MHP (far-right nationalist) - 41

Those are the totals with 99% of votes counted. The AKP is well above the 276 required for a majority. 

The MHP got a higher percentage of votes than the HDP, but the HDP's votes were more concentrated in certain provinces. So under the proportional representation system the HDP was awarded more seats, Murat Nisancioglu of BBC Turkish explains.

Outside the Ankara AK Party headquarters, one man voices his joy over the election result: 

"AK Party outgunned all the other parties. This was more than an election. The future of the country, its interests were under threat. There were two choices. It would be either chaos or stability."

Another supporter, a woman called Hatice, says life is better under Mr Erdogan's ruling party: 

"They provided us a better future. I wear a headscarf and he made great effort to provide me and my children a better future. It was impossible for women like me to go to the university at that time and they were helpful in every way."

Meanwhile, in Diyarbakir, a stronghold of the pro-Kurdish HDP party, a local resident says: "This wasn't a surprise for us; we expected this result. It wasn't a fair election."
