ANKARA: The leader of Turkey’s main opposition party on Sunday called for expected elections to be held “at the latest in November” following the country’s most widespread unrest in a decade.
Addressing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, CHP party leader Ozgur Ozel said: “In November at the latest, you will come to confront our candidate,” referring to the CHP’s presidential candidate Ekrem Imamoglu whose detention sparked the protests.
“We will defy you, we want our candidate at our sides,” Ozel added. “We invite you to once again appeal to the will of the people.”
