This is mine:

190 people who were wanted by the police were caught yesterday when they turned up with their ID cards to vote.

33 in Edirne, 12 in Van, 55 in Sivas, 90 in Tekirdað.

 

Just hope in the name of democracy they let them vote first, before putting the handcuffs on!

Quoting MarioninTurkey

This is mine:

190 people who were wanted by the police were caught yesterday when they turned up with their ID cards to vote.

33 in Edirne, 12 in Van, 55 in Sivas, 90 in Tekirdað.

 

Just hope in the name of democracy they let them vote first, before putting the handcuffs on!

 

This is mine:

 

939.365 people have voted again for the person who has been their mayor for the last 15 years and who has been selling the natural gas abnormally expensive but not paying this money back to BOTAÞ, who has sold the gas meter for double price, who made the people drink dirty water containing even arsenic, who couldn´t finish even a single subway construction during this period and who even doesn´t arrange enough buses, who made the traffic a mess (and impossible to talk about every horrible thing he made) and so shortly, who created a city which is ugly and has 4 billion YTL debt.Head bang

 

I think there cannot be anything weird than this Confused

In the elections, an independent candidate from Bingöl, Zeki Börükoçin, did a crowded campaign meeting. 10.000 persons joined.  he was very surprised after he saw the results. he got only 76 votes!!!!
