Turkey’s High Election Board has ordered a re-run of the Elections in Istanbul.

The new vote will be held on June 23.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Justice and Development (AK) Party had lodged an “extraordinary objection” and asked for a rerun of the election after several partial appeals it made for a recount did not result in any action.

This is a developing story.
