Commanding performance. From exposure thanks for joining us. Millions of voters in istanbul return to the polls today to cast their ballots again in a rerun of the citys Mayoral Election president wretched type of heir to ones governing party is trying to win back control of turkeys largest city the fresh election is taking place after turkeys top Electoral Authority know the results of the 1st vote following appeals by airto us governing party. Its a mayoral rerun could redefine took his politics. Is stamboul is deciding between 2 main candidates banally to him from president to once ruling a k policy and crim from the opposition and who was may have faith. Days before rerun was called had won a tight race but the courts agreed that there were voting irregularities and called a rerun. Positive good record are we determined to keep going until sunday june 23rd we were ready to show our National Policy and thats exactly the point this election is a big deal one has long been tightening his grip on power and has been accused from many quarters of tipping turkey into authoritarianism. Says his campaign is a fight for turkish democracy was a turkish citizen and as a Young University student i supported model because i believe his projects are projects good at solving real problems. Early ones policy though still have a lot of support. Among the key im an individual who suffered during the times when those were the heads covered for religious reasons were unable to piss you an education for 20 years and 20 years later i was able to get an education and become a teacher the h. K. Policy was to be a call for this app president was the reason for this. Day if he loses the opposition is emboldened and there will be renewed questions as to how long overdue one can dominate turkish politics. For now lets bring indeed abuse dorian jones who is following the elections in istanbul for us what can you tell us dorian about todays turnout how busy is it at polling stations. But here at this polling station in istanbul district a well no stronghold of the opposition against president voting has been brisk since the opening of the station in a city that normally start very late and not really seen as an indication of what is widely expected to be on the highest turnouts in any major vote in turkey similar reports all across the city both from the opposition and from supporters of president can. It had been nearly yield to him and people have been returning from all over the country to vote theyve been breaking their summer vacations to come back here hundreds of thousands of people have been coming back the roads have been lost the airports have been full as all sides i think see this vote as potentially one of the most important for the future of the country and for the future of democracy because both sides say they are defending democracy the opposition candidate says that his victory tonight to him unfairly while the candidate been a legal term of president saying that he was a victim of fault so the stakes are very high on both sides can you remind us why were actually doing a rerun right now. Well its all centers. Of fin victory of all of the opposition he won by around 14000 votes in a really short defeat for president one whos dominated this city for 25 years its where his career started hes from istanbul and it is the power base of the president its the most city in the country accounts nearly half a taxation a 3rd of the economy and in many ways its the adage goes he who controls istanbul you seem to control turkey and the loss of istanbul was seen as a devastating blow to earth one and hes kind of the been a little term said that he was a victim of voting irregularities now that that claim was tonight but the Ruling Authority the reelection of party said that there were some technicalities in eligible voting monitors and they ordered a very controversial decision to rerun this vote and that is why the opposition are outraged they say this is nothing more than a denial of democracy so that is where we are at the moment. You are suggesting that defeat would Say Something about the strength of their dough and take a party would it hurt his ability to govern in any way any national consequences. Well i mean istanbul is seen as the 2nd biggest prize in turkish politics after the presidency and for anyone who wins it in many ways they can say that if the agenda for the country what they do in this country is closely watched and in many ways thats why the opposition see it is in many ways a platform to in the end ultimately challenging that is how one rose to power using a similar path he set out his fall in istanbul and then went on to dominate politics and thats what one sees in many ways its such a threat if you opposition do take istanbul it will be seen as one of the biggest blows to our president. Ok thank you dorian jones in istanbul. Lets take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world.
