ANKARA - President Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party is seeking a full recount of all votes cast in local elections in Istanbul, a senior party official said on Sunday, a week after initial results showed a narrow victory for Turkey’s main opposition party.
His party has already appealed the initial results in all 39 districts of the city of 15 million people, leading to partial or full recounts across Turkey’s largest city. AKP deputy party chairman Ali Ihsan Yavuz said there was “organized misconduct” in the original count, and the party will appeal to the High Election Body , the final arbiter on electoral disputes, for all Istanbul votes to be recounted.
But sharp falls in the lira have tipped the economy into recession, eroding some support in the buildup to the vote.
