Turkey’s opposition formally requests annulment of referendum

Turkey’s main opposition party files a formal request seeking the annulment of the referendum because of voting irregularities.

Bulent Tezcan, deputy chairman of the Republican People’s Party, announces the move at the Ankara offices of the electoral board. He says the results of the referendum on constitutional changes are “illegitimate” and the party would use all legal paths to challenge it.

Tezcan says that “we demand the cancellation of this referendum.”
