Supporters of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) cheer in front of the party’s headquarters as they celebrate the municipal elections results in Ankara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0Election officials expanded a vote recount in Istanbul late on Thursday, CNN Turk said, as the ruling party of President Tayyip Erdogan pushed its appeal against its shock defeat there in local elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Erdogan\u2019s AK Party said it would also demand a wider check on votes across the capital Ankara – which initial results suggested it also narrowly lost in Sunday\u2019s vote in a major blow to the establishment.<\/p>\n

Those losses, if confirmed, would be particularly painful for Erdogan, whose party and its predecessor have dominated the two cities for 25 years. He launched his political career in Istanbul and served as the city\u2019s mayor in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Turkey\u2019s High Election Board had ordered a full recount in three of Istanbul\u2019s 39 districts and a recount of just invalid ballots in 15 districts after an appeal from Erdogan\u2019s AKP.<\/p>\n

Late on Thursday the board decided there would be a full recount in those 15 districts as well, CNN Turk said.<\/p>\n

Turkey\u2019s main opposition candidate in Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, told Reuters it looked like his lead had narrowed to around 19,500 votes from an earlier 25,000 as the recount progressed, but he was sure he would still become mayor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results will not change. Time is passing and Istanbul is waiting for service, so we just want to get to our job as soon as possible,\u201d said Imamoglu of the Republican People\u2019s Party (CHP).<\/p>\n

The AKP\u2019s representative on the election board, Recep Ozel, told broadcaster A Haber that the opposition\u2019s margin in Istanbul would keep falling and his candidate, ex-prime minister Binali Yildirim, would emerge the winner in Turkey\u2019s commercial hub.<\/p>\n

RECESSION CHALLENGE<\/h3>\n

Erdogan, who has dominated Turkish politics since coming to power 16 years ago and ruled his country with an ever tighter grip, campaigned relentlessly for two months ahead of Sunday\u2019s vote, which he described as a \u201cmatter of survival\u201d for Turkey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But the president\u2019s efforts came up against widespread anger about Turkey\u2019s recession, which has brought surging inflation and unemployment, and caused the lira to plunge.<\/p>\n

In Ankara, opposition candidate Mansur Yavas received 50.9 percent of votes on Sunday to earn a nearly 4 percentage point victory over his AKP rival, former minister Mehmet Ozhaseki.<\/p>\n

The AKP also appealed against those results, prompting the election board to order a recount in 11 of the city\u2019s districts.<\/p>\n

But AKP Secretary General Fatih Sahin said on Thursday that the results of the recount so far were \u201cfar from meeting our expectations\u201d and the party would appeal for another recount across the city.<\/p>\n

If the initial results are confirmed, the CHP will gain control of municipal budgets with an estimated total value of 32.6 billion liras ($5.79 billion) for 2019 in Istanbul and Ankara.<\/p>\n

Erdogan would likely also lose some oversight for municipal contracts in the two cities, possibly complicating his efforts to drag the Turkish economy out of recession.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the elections, the CHP formed an electoral alliance with the Iyi (Good) Party to rival the alliance between the AKP and their nationalist MHP partners. They named joint candidates in certain cities, including Ankara and Istanbul.<\/p>\n

The AKP-MHP alliance also lost control of the southern coastal cities of Antalya, Mersin and Adana, the central provinces of Bolu and Kirsehir, and the eastern cities of Artvin, Igdir and Ardahan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
