Thursday 09/May/2019 - 02:03 PM
Turkey’s main opposition party said it had formally
requested the annulment of President Tayyip Erdogan’s mandate because the same
flaws his AK Party alleged in the city’s March 31 mayoral vote occurred in last
year’s national elections, Dawn reported Thursday.
The Republican People’s Party (CHP) also said votes
for Istanbul officials and councils, submitted in the same envelopes as the
mayoral election, should be cancelled if the mayoral vote is re-run.
The AK Party (AKP) won a majority in the councils.
