   by Reuters

   Ahmet Davutoglu was elected leader of Turkey's ruling AK Party on
   Wednesday in a televised ceremony, ahead of his expected appointment as
   prime minister on Thursday after Tayyip Erdogan is sworn in as
   president.

   Outgoing Foreign Minister Davutoglu, who was the only candidate to
   replace Erdogan at the AKP congress in the capital Ankara, was elected
   with the votes of 1,382 delegates, the official announced.

   The remaining six votes were ruled invalid.
