		</div><p>Turkey’s ruling party has said it will appeal to the country’s top election authority, demanding a full recount of votes cast in Istanbul in the March 31 mayoral election.</p>
<p>Ali Ihsan Yavuz, deputy chairman of the ruling AKP party, spoke on Sunday as a recount of votes that were previously deemed invalid was continuing in several Istanbul districts.</p>
<p>In a major upset to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the opposition took control of Ankara, the capital, and won a tight race for Istanbul in the country’s local elections.</p>

<p>Mr Erdogan’s party is contesting some results, claiming that the elections were “tainted”.</p>
<p>Mr Yavuz said the party is seeking a total recount of votes in 38 districts in Istanbul, not just of ballot papers that were cancelled.</p>
<p>He said the opposition party candidate’s lead has narrowed to 16,442 votes as a result of the partial recount.</p>
