The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, announced that the Election Commission of Turkey should annul the local elections in Istanbul due to irregularities, reports Tanjug.

As reported by the pro-government newspaper "Sabah", Erdogan spoke to journalists on the plane while returning from Moscow, and claims that certain officials at the polling stations were not public servants, and therefore the law was broken, reports AP.

"Our colleagues have found out. Normally, all this raises suspicion. If they honestly consider the situation, the election will be annulled," Erdogan said.

The Turkish president said on Monday that the polls were targeted by "organized crime".
