ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday his AK Party would fight until the High Election Board (YSK) gives a final ruling on March 31 local elections, a day after the main opposition candidate took the Istanbul mayor’s office.
After 17 days of objections and recounts, Ekrem Imamoglu took office on Wednesday, despite a pending request by the AKP to annul and repeat mayoral elections in Istanbul.
Speaking to union members, Erdogan also said that Turkey needs to use the next 4-1/2 years until scheduled elections effectively and tackle economic and security problems.
