Two days after the elections in Turkey, further cases of fraud are uncovered by comparing ballot records and the information in the Supreme Election Board’s database. Votes for the Green Left Party in Bismil were attributed to the MHP.
Elections were held in Turkey on Sunday and new cases of electoral fraud are still emerging. In the Bismil district of Amed (Diyarbakir), it has emerged that votes for the Green Left Party were attributed to the MHP (Nationalist Movement Party). The fraud was discovered by comparing the official data entered into the system of the Supreme Election Board (YSK) and the protocol signed by the polling staff on the spot immediately after the counting.
The case in question is ballot box no. 1234 at Esma Ocak Primary School. The record lists 233 votes for the Green Left Party, but in the database of the Supreme Election Board, these votes appear for the MHP, which did not receive a single vote.
Reporting many more such cases, the HDP co-chair in Amed, Gülistan Atasoy, said: "There are some ballot boxes from which the votes were attributed to the MHP in this way. Meanwhile, all the records have been compared with the information from the Election Board’s database. An appeal will be filed today," said the Kurdish politician.
