İmamoğlu reacts: 'Rejected when AKP wins, let's recount when CHP wins'
Following the conclusion of the local elections, objections to the results have begun to be evaluated. While parties are attempting to turn results in their favor through objections in electoral districts, Ekrem İmamoğlu has reacted to the decision to recount votes in Gaziosmanpaşa, where the CHP won.

The tension following the change in election results in Van, which the DEM Party had won, due to an AKP objection continues.
While opposition parties continue to react to the alteration of a fair election result by the YSK, there is also ongoing criticism that objections to election results are not being evaluated within the framework of fairness.
Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu reacted on his social media account to the evaluation of the objection made to the election result won by the CHP in Gaziosmanpaşa.
Stating that the evaluations are not fair, İmamoğlu said that when the party objecting is the AKP, things proceed as they wish. Stating that the government is not managing democratic processes honorably, İmamoğlu used the following expressions:
"It appears that the government is determined not to manage democratic processes honorably. In our Gaziosmanpaşa district, where the CHP won the election, it was decided to recount all votes due to pressure. However, in our Ümraniye district, where we made the same request, our request was rejected. For the Pendik, Fatih, Arnavutköy, and Bahçelievler districts, no decision has been reached on our requests yet. To reject a recount when the AK Party wins the district, but say 'let's recount' when the CHP wins, fits neither democracy nor honor. We want the Provincial Election Board and the YSK not to remain spectators to all that is happening."
ANOTHER REACTION FROM İMAMOĞLU REGARDING BEYKOZ
In another post, Ekrem İmamoğlu stated that the AKP also objected to the results in Beykoz and shared the following:
A decision similar to the one for the recount of all votes in Gaziosmanpaşa is being sought in Beykoz. The law must put a stop to the pressures of those who lost the election on the field to win it at the table.
The Provincial Election Board and the YSK must urgently intervene in the pressures exerted on district election boards.
