Results of the 32nd round of the Court of Cassation presidential election announced
No candidate was able to secure the required number of votes in the 32nd round of the presidential election held following the expiration of Court of Cassation President Mehmet Akarca's 4-year term.
The 4-year term of Akarca, who was elected as President of the Court of Cassation on March 24, 2020, expired as of March 24.
In this context, members of the Court of Cassation went to the polls on Monday, March 25, to determine the new president of the High Court, who will serve for a 4-year term.
The 32nd round of voting was held because no candidate was able to receive at least 175 votes, which is the absolute majority of the 348 Court of Cassation members, in the first 31 rounds of the election.
As a result of the voting, Akarca received 86 votes, 3rd Civil Chamber President Ömer Kerkez received 118 votes, and 3rd Criminal Chamber President Muhsin Şentürk received 103 votes. While participation in the election was recorded as 319, 1 blank vote was cast and 11 votes were deemed invalid.
Due to the failure to reach an absolute majority, the election is continuing with the 33rd round of voting.
An absolute majority of the total number of members is required to be present for the elections.
