Late on Thursday, election officials expanded the vote recount in Istanbul, broadcaster CNN Turk said, as President Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party pushed its appeal against its shock election defeat there. It was unclear how many districts would ultimately see recounts. “From what I see, it should end this weekend. It will fall into a 18,000-20,000 range, that’s what all the simulations show. These are very tight numbers,” he said.
The AK Party said it would also demand a wider check on votes across the capital Ankara, which, according to initial results, it also narrowly lost in Sunday’s nationwide municipal vote.
