President Tayyip Erdogan's AK Party spent 80 million lira ($13 million) in ...

ISTANBUL - President Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party spent 80 million lira in three years on an Istanbul city website, the ousted opposition mayor said on Wednesday, part of what he said was a wider misspending of billions of lira of public money.

The decision to re-run the vote on June 23 has brought international criticism and accusations from Turkey’s opposition of eroding democracy. It has also unnerved financial markets and thrown a spotlight on the AKP’s management of Turkey’s largest city and commercial hub during its long years in power.

An AK Party election official could not immediately be contacted for comment and the party’s spokesman did not address Imamoglu’s claims in a news conference later on Wednesday.Istanbul municipality has previously defended its record and denied specific accusations that it overspent on cars for management, saying some of the vehicles were used by employees of vital services including the city’s waterworks.

“We will change this system of waste together. Istanbul Municipality is not the property of a handful of people,” he said, without specifying whom he was accusing.
