Protests over Beşiktaş ballot box outcomes
AK Party and CHP contest results for ballot box 1369
Representatives of the AK Party and the CHP have filed objections with the District Election Board regarding the results for ballot box number 1369. The party representatives hope that the board will evaluate the reasons behind their objections and come up with a fair verdict.
Turkey went to the polls on Sunday to elect a new president and members of parliament. Over 191,000 ballot boxes were set up in 973 districts and 1094 district election boards across the country for the Presidential Elections and the 28th Term Parliamentary Elections. Voting began at 08:00 and ended at 17:00.
As the results start pouring in, it is becoming clear that this election is one of the most hotly contested in recent Turkish history. The AK Party and the opposition parties have been campaigning hard, hoping to sway voters to their cause. At stake is not just the presidency, but also the balance of power in parliament.
The District Election Board will now evaluate the objections raised by the AK Party and the CHP regarding ballot box number 1369. With so much at stake, the board has a weighty responsibility to ensure that the election results are fair and transparent. The eyes of Turkey and the world are on this election, and the board must do everything in its power to uphold the democratic process.
