Controversy Surrounds Turkish Election Results

Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), has filed complaints over suspected irregularities at thousands of ballot boxes in Sunday's landmark elections, in which President Tayyip Erdogan performed better than expected. However, the opposition party officials said the objections were unlikely to alter the result of the presidential vote, which is headed to a runoff on May 28 between Erdogan and challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu. Erdogan's ruling Islamist-rooted AK Party and its nationalist allies won a strong parliamentary majority.
