Quick Glance: Turkish Electoral Board Controversy: Van Mayorship Shifted from DEM Party to AKP Candidate
  • Despite the pro-Kurdish DEM Party's victory in the mayoral elections, the electoral board in Turkey's Van province on April 2 awarded the metropolitan mayorship to the ruling AKP candidate.

  • The board decided to hand the "certificate of election" to AKP's Abdullahat Arvas, who received only 27.15% of the votes in the province.

  • Zeydan's lawyer called this a "first" in the Republic's history and announced legal action against the electoral board's decision.

  • The DEM Party secured victories in all 13 district municipalities and the metropolitan municipality in the Kurdish-majority eastern province, which was previously under government-appointed trustee administration.
