Erdogan's AK Party to appeal for rerun of Istanbul's municipal elections
- Country:
- Turkey
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's AK Party will "shortly" appeal for the annulment and rerun of Istanbul's municipal elections, the party's deputy chairman said in a tweet on Tuesday.
Initial results showed the main opposition Republican People's Party narrowly won control of Turkey's biggest city in the mayoral elections, seemingly ending 25 years of control of a key power centre by the AK Party and its Islamist predecessors.
Turkish broadcaster CNN Turk said the appeal will be submitted to the high election board at 1530 (1230 GMT).
