The local election board in the Turkish capital Ankara has rejected a call from the main opposition CHP party to recount the results of Sunday’s local election in the city, a source in the CHP told Reuters on Friday.

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamist-rooted AK Party largely dominated Turkey’s electoral map in the local polls, keeping control of the main cities including Istanbul and Ankara, where the CHP had challenged the result.
