ANKARA - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday Turkey’s local elections were marred by “organized crime” at ballot boxes in Istanbul, raising the possibility of re-running a March 31 vote that handed a slim majority to the main opposition party.
Erdogan’s AK Party has already lost the mayoralty in the capital Ankara to the main opposition Republican People’s Party , and is has appealed several stages of the count in Istanbul which showed a narrow CHP victory. Speaking before departing for talks in Russia with President Vladimir Putin, Erdogan said voting in other countries, including the United States, was often re-run if the margin of victory was below 1 percent. “They believe that such tight margins do not give comfort to the public,” he said.The AKP has appealed to the High Election Board for a full recount of votes cast in the election across all 39 districts of Istanbul.
“Now the High Electoral Board has entered a process that damages the security of the ballot boxes, the security of the election. This is the real danger,” Kilicdaroglu told reporters in Ankara.
