Ousted Istanbul mayor says election re-run a battle for democracy

ISTANBUL - Istanbul’s ousted mayor says he will go into battle for Turkish democracy next month when he stands in a re-run of an election he thought had granted him the city to govern for five years.

Imamoglu had been in office for less than three weeks when, on Monday - after a series of appeals by Erdogan and the AKP - the High Election Board annulled the vote and called a re-run, citing irregularities in the appointment of polling station officials. Until then, the AKP and its Islamist predecessors had governed Turkey’s largest city for 25 years, presiding over its close-to $4 billion budget.

He said more than 100,000 volunteers had so far come forward to assist with his campaign, which will also focus on developing alternative ways of communicating his message in the face of an overwhelmingly pro-government media. He said the experience of the annulment had not changed him and his anger was only focused on those responsible for the decision.

Erdogan will turn Turkey into the next Venezuela. Wake up Turkey!

RT : Ousted Istanbul mayor says election re-run a battle for democracy

Of course it's a battle for democracy. Let viable voters come forth and express their 'NO' to theocracy in Turkey and a big 'No' to Ergodan at the polls without intimidation and bloodshed. Let true democracy speak.
