Deniz Zeyrek reacts to the renewal of elections in Ardahan: 'Pulling the İYİ Party representative to their side...'

As a result of objections filed by the AKP, it has been decided that the elections for the Ardahan Municipality, which the CHP won in the March 31 Local Elections, will be held again on June 2.

This decision has been met with reactions from many quarters.

The fact that the AKP's objections across the country are being accepted so quickly is being met with backlash in daily life as well as on the opposition front.

Finally, Kars-born journalist Deniz Zeyrek reacted to the decision for a re-run with the following words:

"The will of the nation in Ardahan was clear on the night of March 31.

The ruling power wants to change this result with a 'fait accompli' style decision by pulling the İYİ Party representative to their side.

As a citizen who grew up in those lands, I expect independent judges to quickly deliver justice to its rightful owner when the file comes before them.

If what is won at the ballot box is lost in court, there is no democracy there!"
