Leader of Turkey’s Main Opposition Party Misses Referendum Vote

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of Turkey’s main opposition party, said he did not vote in the country’s constitutional referendum Sunday because of a mix-up over where he should cast his ballot, reports the Hurriyet Daily News & Economic Review. 

“I want to apologize to my fellow party members if I have upset them,” Kılıçdaroğlu, chair of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), told reporters late Sunday at a press conference at his party’s headquarters.

“It was my responsibility to check the register of electors, but I could not do it due to my intense referendum campaign,” he said, adding that his name was removed from the electors list without his knowledge.
