Turkey's main opposition Istanbul mayor waits for official statement on elections
- Country:
- Turkey
Turkey's main opposition Istanbul mayor said on Monday that he would wait for an official statement from the High Election Board (YSK) before speaking about its decision to annul and re-run mayoral elections in Istanbul.
"I am aware that everyone is curious about a decision regarding me. I have heard things. But I will wait for the decision, the official statement from the High Election Board," Ekrem Imamoglu told a video broadcast on his social media accounts.
YSK officials have not yet made a statement on a decision to re-run mayoral elections in Istanbul. The decision was announced initially by the ruling AK Party representative to the YSK. Private broadcaster Haberturk said the YSK had ruled to re-run elections on the grounds that some ballot box officials were not civil servants.
