ISTANBUL/ANKARA - Election officials expanded a vote recount in Istanbul late on Thursday, CNN Turk said, as the ruling party of President Tayyip Erdogan pushed its appeal against its shock defeat there in local elections.
On Wednesday, Turkey’s High Election Board had ordered a full recount in three of Istanbul’s 39 districts and a recount of just invalid ballots in 15 districts after an appeal from Erdogan’s AKP. “The mathematics and numbers are clear,” Imamoglu told Reuters. “There is no need to think of a Plan B right now.”
“All citizens should remain calm. Our democracy is showing its strength as it always has,” Celik said. “Let the law work and let’s respect the outcome.”Ahead of the elections, the CHP formed an electoral alliance with the Iyi Party to rival the alliance between the AKP and their nationalist MHP partners. They named joint candidates in certain cities, including Ankara and Istanbul.
If the initial results are confirmed, the CHP will gain control of municipal budgets with an estimated total value of 32.6 billion liras for 2019 in Istanbul and Ankara.
