Pro-reunification leader Mehmet Ali Talat was set to win Turkish Cypriot presidential polls in a single round today, incomplete results showed.
With three-quarters of ballot boxes counted, Talat had 56 per cent of the votes against 22 per cent for his nearest rival, Dervis Eroglu, who has opposed a UN peace plan for the divided island.
The frontrunner needs more than half the votes cast to win outright without a second round of polling.
