The Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is announcing a new constitutional referendum
that gives the President a lot more power.
There was a national vote to decide to change the constitution which was
very close. When the vote against the
constitutional change was threatening to win the election the electoral
authorities stepped in and announced they would allow unsealed ballots to be
counted. Which was against the rules of
the election. After it was all over the
vote to change the constitution won 51% to 49%.
The changes to the constitution gives the President almost unlimited
power. Which realistically makes him a
dictator. The opposing group says that
the election was not fair and they say they will contest the election.
