Turkey’s main opposition says to formally seek annulment of referendum

(From L) OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) mission head in Turkey Tana de Zulueta, ODIHR and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Cezar Florin Preda and ODIHR spokesman Thomas Rymer give a press conference Ankara, on April 17, 2017 following the results in a nationwide referendum that will determine Turkey's future destiny. Turkey's opposition on April 17, 2017 called for the annulment of a referendum giving President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sweeping new powers, as international monitors voiced concern over the campaign and vote count. The referendum was seen as crucial not just for shaping the political system of Turkey but also the future strategic direction of a nation that has been a NATO member since 1952 and an EU hopeful for half a century. / AFP / ADEM ALTAN

ANKARA: Turkey’s main secularist opposition CHP will present its appeal for the annulment of Sunday’s referendum boosting the powers of President Tayyip Erdogan to the High Electoral Board (YSK) on Tuesday, the party said in a statement.
The People’s Republican Party (CHP) said Deputy Chairman Bulent Tezcan would present the appeal to the YSK at 2:30 p.m. (1130 GMT).
The CHP on Monday called for the annulment of the referendum and said it would take its challenge to the European Court of Human Rights if necessary, after a last-minute decision by the electoral board to allow unstamped ballots.
