Turkey's election board has ruled in favor of a revote for Istanbul's next mayor, according to a state-run news agency

Istanbul, Turkey Turkey's election board has ruled in favor of a revote for Istanbul's next mayor, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency. The country's Supreme Election Council [YSK] announced its 7-4 decision on Monday, weeks after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party lost that race by a razor thin margin.

The opposition Republican People's Party won control of both Istanbul and capital city Ankara in the March 31 local elections, dealing a blow to Erdogan's Justice and Development Party, known as AKP. But in Istanbul, the victory was a narrow one, with CHP at 48.79% of the vote -- just ahead of AKP's 48.51%. According to Anadolu, the re-run will take place on June 23 and Ekrem Imamoglu, Istanbul's new CHP mayor, had his mayoral certificate canceled by YSK on Monday.

Obviously Ergodan paid some people off or threaten them with death or jail. Just like Hillary, Ergodan can't accept the election outcome because it wasn't the result he wanted.
