Muharrem İnce, the presidential candidate of Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), conceded defeat in what he called “unjust” presidential elections on June 25 but vowed to continue his political fight.
“There is no significant difference between the official ballot reports that our officials have shown us and the numbers announced by the Supreme Board of Elections [YSK]. The differences do not have the power to change the results. So, I concede the results of the elections,” İnce said at a press conference at the CHP headquarters in Ankara on June 25.
His comments came hours after unofficial election results showed İnce garnered 30.6 percent of the votes, while President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won by 52.6 percent of the votes.
