The city was thrown into turmoil following the decision by the Van Provincial Election Board to deem DEM Party candidate Abdullah Zeydan "unelected" on the grounds that he "lacked the eligibility to be elected," and to award the certificate of election to the second-place candidate who had the next highest number of votes and possessed the necessary eligibility.
THEY LIT FIRES
DEM Party supporters reacted to the decision and held marches. Last night, DEM Party supporters blocked roads in the city and lit fires. It was reported that there were numerous detentions in the incidents, which also spread to other provinces.
