ISTANBUL - Istanbul’s mayoral candidates argued over the election they contested in March in a rare televised debate on Sunday, a week before a re-run vote seen as a test of Turkish democracy and the reach of President Tayyip Erdogan’s AK party.
In the first televised debate of its kind in the country in nearly two decades, AKP candidate Binali Yildirim faced the main opposition’s Ekrem Imamoglu, who won the initial vote in March but was ousted from city hall when the result was annulled in May. But in a decision last month that raised new questions over Turkey’s institutional independence, the High Election Board scheduled the re-run on June 23 after a series of AKP complaints that the initial vote was marred by irregularities.
“Who stole votes for God’s sake?” responded Imamoglu, of the Republican People’s Party , saying the election board had made no such allegation in its decision to annul the vote.The event was screened by all major channels.
