During the meeting, it was stated that the incident directly affected the election result, and a decision was made to cancel it. It was decided that the repeated election will be held on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
The election results were as follows:
DEM Party candidate Serhat Paydaş had received 6 thousand 960 votes, or 33.2 percent; while AKP's Aslan Ali Bayık had received 6 thousand 349 votes, or 30.7 percent.
