Hızır Şenol, the Yeniden Refah Party's mayoral candidate in Manisa's Akhisar district, cannot enter the March 31, 2024, Local Administration elections on the grounds that he was late in submitting his application to the District Election Board.
Claiming that they entered the District Election Board building at 17:00 but that their application was rejected because they reached the floor where the application office is located at 17:02, Yeniden Refah Party's Akhisar mayoral candidate Hızır Şenol stated the following:
"REJECTED BY A 5-TO-2 VOTE"
"We came to the District Election Board immediately after preparing our documents regarding our application and made our submission. Of course, as of the time we made this application, we were at the tax office. Although we entered this building at 17:00, our application was rejected and referred to the board because we entered the 4th floor, where the District Election Board is located, at 17:02. As a result of the board's meeting, our participation in the election was rejected by a 5-to-2 vote, with the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the IYI Party voting in favor of our participation, while the AK Party and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), along with 2 civil servants and the YSK District Chair, voted against it."
