Erdogan accuses US, Europe of ‘meddling’ after Turkey vote
Date:06Apr2019
There would be a calamity of Biblical proportions, if Erdogan pressures election authorities to cancel or renew elections. While all of AKP’s appeals are heard, how about pro-Kurdish HDP?
The Pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), meanwhile, said none of its appeals for recounts had been accepted by election boards, even when candidates had won by only a few votes.
The HDP supported the CHP — to protest the government’s “harsh policies” in Kurdish-majority cities — by not fielding its own candidates and splitting the anti-Erdogan vote in western Turkey.
It said it had challenged the rulings and would “appeal to the Supreme Elections Board if provincial boards, too, reject our appeals”.
