Paragraph 50
 

As with the denial of the mayoral mandates of successful candidates, there is no provision in Turkish law which would explicitly give the SEC the competence to assign those mandates to second placed candidates. The law only provides for repeat elections – in electoral zones affected by irregularities during the election process- and for election by the municipal council of a new mayor, in case the office of mayor falls vacant at a later moment.
