The entire cabinet has gone with him. "Mr President accepted today the resignation of the cabinet that was presented by Mr Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu," Erdogan's office said in a brief statement.
"Mr President, who thanked the cabinet for its services so far, asked the cabinet to remain in charge until a new government is formed."
The resignation of the cabinet was widely expected as a procedural move after the elections.
It was not clear if Davutoglu was authorised by the president to embark on a tour of talks with opposition parties to form a coalition government.

The beginning of the end for Erdogan and the AKP? We can only hope.Since it came to power in 2002, the AKP has ruled Turkey as a one-party government, with a big majority in the 550-seat parliament.
