Dervis Eroglu has won the northern Cyprus presidential election, exit polls say.

Eroglu beat Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat with more than 50 per cent of votes cast and so will avoid a run-off.

Eroglou’s win could complicate Turkey’s bid to join the EU. Unlike rival Talat, he opposes the island’s reunification.
