Istanbul’s top two mayoral candidates Binali Yildirim and Ekrem Imamoglu sat down for a televised debate a week ahead of a re-run of polls in the Turkish megalopolis, home to some 16 million people
People watch the live televised debate between Istanbul mayoral candidate of governing Justice and Development Party, Binali Yildirim and Istanbul mayoral candidate of main opposition Republican People’s Party , Ekrem Imamoglu at Istanbul’s Lutfi Kirdar Congress Center started under the moderation of veteran journalist and TV presenter Ismail Kucukkaya, from a screen at Esenler Dortyol Square on June 16, 2019 in Istanbul, Turkey.
"If my vote was tallied for the CHP [opposition Republican People’s Party] or another candidate, this was theft. There’s no explanation for this," he added. Imamoglu characterized the Istanbul re-vote as part of the fight for democracy, "not just a local election." The results of the vote were canceled after the governing AK Party and Nationalist Movement Party appealed to the council, citing irregularities and violations of election law.
