Ruling Party Candidate Concedes Defeat in Istanbul Re-Vote. ISTANBUL - The ruling party candidate in the re-run of Istanbul's mayoral election, Binali Yildirim, has conceded defeat to opposition candidate Ekrem Imamoglu.

Ruling Party Candidate Concedes Defeat in Istanbul Re-Vote

Sunday's vote was held because election authorities controversially annulled Imamoglu's initial historic election victory in March on a technicality after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan disputed the defeat of his candidate. Electoral authorities rejected Erdogan's AKP Party's claims of voting fraud, but ordered a revote on the grounds a number election officials were ineligible.

The opposition condemned the decision and claimed the Sunday vote is now more than just about who runs the city. In a sign of the importance of Sunday's election, voting was brisk from the moment the Kadikoy district ballot station opened, in a city where people traditionally vote late. Early heavy voting was reported across the city. The importance of Sunday's election has seen hundreds of thousands of people cut short their vacations to vote.

Turkey's constitutional reform: All you need to know. Last December, Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) unveiled a raft of constitutional amendments that aim to fundamentally change the way Turkey is governed. The controversial draft constitution, dubbed the "Turkish-style presidency", is seeking to replace the current parliamentary system with a presidential one paving the way for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has held power for the past 13 years, first as prime minister and since 2014 as president, to become the sole executive authority in the country. The proposed constitution, which is currently being debated in parliament, foresees the creation of vice presidents and the abolition of the office of the prime minister.

If the amendments are accepted, first by parliament and then in a referendum, there would no longer be a formal cabinet answerable to parliament. Log In - New York Times.
