Turkey opposition raises questions on the legitimacy of referendum

ANKARA: Turkey's main opposition party chief on Sunday questioned the legitimacy of a referendum after the ruling party claimed victory in the vote on expanding President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's powers.

"The Higher Election Board has thrown a dark shadow on the people's decision. They have caused the referendum's legitimacy to be questioned," the Republican People's Party (CHP) chief Kemal Kilicdaroglu said, criticising the election commission for a last-minute change to the rules for voting. (APP)
