CHP’s Mansur Yavas gets his cerfiticate of election as mayor of Ankara

Ankara’s newly elected mayor Mansur Yavas received his cerfiticate of election on Monday from Turkey’s Supreme Election Council.

Main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) candidate Mansur Yavaş was awarded the certificate of election on Monday to become the mayor of Ankara by Turkey’s Supreme Election Council (YSK).

On Sunday, the YSK rejected the AK Party’s request for a full recount of all votes in 13 districts in Ankara.

YSK head Sadi Güven told reporters at a news conference Monday morning that the judicial process in disputed districts is continuing, underlining that making an evaluation is “not possible” as the process continues.

On March 31, millions of Turkish citizens cast ballots in the local elections to choose mayors, city council members, mukhtars (neighborhood officials), and members of elder councils for the next five years.
