Calls for referendum annulment rise in Turkey
Turkey's electoral board is being inundated with annulment petitions from political opposition and citizens alike as allegations of cheating and intimidation continue in the aftermath of the country's vote to grant its president sweeping new powers.
Allegations of fraud in Turkey’s April 16 referendum show no signs of abating despite government denials that any irregularity occurred.
Today, the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) petitioned the Supreme Electoral Board (YSK) for the vote on boosting the powers of the presidency to be annulled.
