But those were the headlines the news continues here on aljazeera after inside stories that youve done so much by fidel. Ruling turkeys powerhouse the take a partys dominance is put to the test in istanbul rerun of its Mayoral Election but what does that mean for the countrys democracy and also for the president mr erdogan this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im peter dobby the turkish president wretch up time to one has always been keenly aware that politically speaking what happens to turkeys 2nd city could have a major and last an impact on his own political future the city is crucially important as the nations business hub but it dealt a blow to the president s ruling justice and development a k. Party during the merrow lections in march the ruling a party contested that result over counting irregularities and turkeys electoral board up held the complaint so turkish voters went back to the polls many saying theyre concerned about unemployment and the rising cost of living mr owens critics blame him for the economic recession and the vote is seen as a referendum on his policies aljazeera is hasham alba sets up our discussion today from istanbul. President said many times that whether wins wins turkey the city was the starting point for our partys political rise and dominance in recent years it was when of the mayor ship in 1994 that catapulted him on to the National Stage and helped launch the party which has managed ever since to win general elections and secure comfortable leads and this explains why when they lost the city in march it came as a major setback for john for the party and for his supporters and although this is a local election but the rerun could be a crucial moment for a party if they lose it could be an indication they are losing Popular Support or a need to reinvent themselves or the public sentiment in turkey is shifting to words supporting an alternative to a party. For inside story. Ok lets hear how some turkish voters feel about this rerun this 2nd. I think is going to solve. Most of the problems remain for still political. And ethical issues in the room everybodys opposed to the high alexion boards decision to rerun the ystem ball election like nobody thought this was ordinary hopefully this election will be held within the last. We are taking part in this election but with qualms this cannot be denied its a fact we hope that irregularities will not happen in this elections years. Ok lets get going lets introduce our panel today from istanbul metamath challenge managing editor of the daily star newspaper from london fadi a quarter manager of the turkey project at Chatham House and from ankara yusuf conley formerly the editor of the how to get newspaper welcome to you all in istanbul lets go back to march and start our discussion there those claims of irregularities there was only 13000. 00 votes in it but those claims how was that received by the voters. Well i think there is there is 2 side of the story there is those voters who say that this small margin should be analyzed and should the claim should be taken seriously and the fact that the party side took it to Supreme Election Council should be taken serious the fact that there is more than 10000000 voters in a stumble this small margin should be taken into consideration but on the other hand there is the opposition voter base who says that you know this small margin and irregularities are seen as. You know like an escape from the losing side but at the end of the day it is the supreme election counsel who is eligible who is able to make that decision whether or not the claims were you know worthy of taken into consideration and the fact that they were you know one day decided to nullify the march 31st election by you know 7 in favor of the party poll i think its significant i mean this was a judicial process that our party had a right to appeal to and they did that this is part of our election process and election laws and you know there is the tiredness from mia from the elections by the by the voters at the same time so you know there is 2 side of the stories in this whole canceling of the march 31st elections thought he had cooler in london whats the central message from the voters of istanbul to mr. I think the the voters in istanbul are deeply unhappy with the curating state of the economy food inflation is over 30 percent unemployment is in double digits the turkish lira is plummeting against the us dollar and the euro the debt burden either by the felt by the turkish private sector and or consumer is becoming increasingly unbearable for the number one issue for the stumble voters is the state of the National Economy also we see now the majority now over 50 percent of all turkish Bank Deposits now are denominated in a foreign currency which is an indication of growing impatience by the turkish public over the state of the economy use of cammy in ankara if that growing impatience translates into the political sands are shifting underneath the a k p does that mean that those same sans are shifting as well under the feet of president to one page of course we can all say dissolve so he stumbled the engine of and or the 15000 difference between the 2 contenders or the 1st drug was in a moment one ward is enough to even or lose the election that was what is the. Or was there to be no youll do said before the election and indeed just a case of these double really there is indeed iraq being the cause of it is all the people in the lewis is there in the country and it is ruining the image of turkey as occurred to capable or holding in fair and just elections theres one tour of course the odd couple of these double action movie will be dominated really way the result of people use or can i just into. Stop you there for a 2nd just for a 2nd thats not quite an answer to my question my question was this are we in effect seeing mr erdogan on not displaying the political dexterity that he has displayed since 1904 since he took istanbul himself is he beginning to lose his political grip and people are reacting to that of course in a certain extend is that it is stumble and just by be the beginning of the end of him there is an expectation are there you know in. Politics you cannot be sure oh editing as every election is. I go i did have a particularly you know it is it evades double but hopefully this will be the end overtone tonio. Heavily ody in the country 30 her career in london there are already existing fissures within the a. K. Party could this rerun of the mer alexion make those fissures bigger make them more acute and therefore make them damaging for mr the one. I think that if i can just add one point to your previous speaker when leaders nationally distend to stay too long in politics normally over 10 years they become increasingly they become increasingly centralize too much power in their hands we saw that with market thatcher in the United Kingdom we saw that with helmut kohl in germany where National Leaders and now we see it with Angela Merkel in germany again so when leaders take too long in power they tend to they tend become less more inflexible and try to centralize as much power as as possible and measurements in istanbul i guess thats a fair point i mean the voters of istanbul are just tired surely theyve heard what 6 votes not 56 votes in 5 years theyre just exhausted when it comes to having to go and vote for somebody again. Well that is right in fact the rerun decision was not at this party initially demanded they want they demanded the recount of votes but the c. H. P. Unfortunately stood against that and then our party had to take them take their appeal to Supreme Election Council and the decision was made by the Supreme Election Council. With regards to the previous points made i think if there is an exhaustion of the election is there is that perception that has taken a blow by using lets say on qatar and some of the other big cities and and the fact that a position has been able to consolidate its voter base against him in istanbul but we should not forget that its been 17 years nearly 2 decades of a party being in power and entering elections and winning every single one of them in fact they warn i mean they received the most votes and they were the most popular and people student stood behind them by by far in the past in march 31st elections to there is that however fatigue in our party that our party has been able to renew itself in the past elections and i think this election was one of them and they have to take some of the points people try to make. Into consideration and economy is one of them economy has to be a Getting Better and i think if the fact that it is one of the indicators and one of the factors affecting peoples decision the government has to take that into consideration and president out on has said that they will focus on economy in the past you know nearly 4 and a half years of nor lection period thats what this one of the 1st thing he said right after the march 31st elections but there is a rerun of. The decision that was made this was not made by our party nor that the our party demanded this but there were regularities that had that our party had appealed and the decision was made by the Supreme Election Council yourself in our of this agree just to stop you there gentlemen its want to put that point to use of cannily and ankara did people go for mr m m o 2 in march granted there was only 13000 votes in it but did they go for him because he had genuinely attractive logical policies or did they go for him because he wasnt the a. K. P. Was the people went to in a mood because diesel in him. The whole. People still hope the justices were going to move everything will be far better is indeed deflective will work it will offer to turks people who just were turkish city of a smooth running democracy rather than one man show that mr erdogan going to turkey
