Champions League Final | Istanbul or could it be moved?

75% counted and Erdoğan is on 50.8%, so it looks likely that he might secure over 50%, without needing to go to another round of votes, meaning he will maintain power. This should ensure continuity of stability in the short term, and the final still being held in Istanbul, but more Erdoğan is not good for the Turkey nor it's people.

May believe it will be a rigged vote. Erdogan is far too powerful to be voted out.

Yes, I agree. He controls the state news, and it is the state news that are giving those forecasts currently.

Reuters is reporting sources
in both President Recep

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's CHP as

so far, neither is likely to
clear the 50% threshold
needed for an outright win
With 75% of votes counted
the state-owned Anadolu
news agency has Erdoğan on
50.76% and Kilıçdaroğlu on
43.43%. The private Anka

narrower margin.

I’m reading online that the ruling party have forced the recognition of Erdogan skewed location votes first and is ordering recounts and delaying recognition of votes in opposition strongholds to make the lead look stronger than it is.

He’s now down to 50.4%… I think it’s going to be close, but not convinced Erdogan has enough to do it in round one.

Good heavens. Leave it until Wednesday at 10pm.

Not sure if anyone has seen, or is planning to stay in Istanbul for a few days after. But Galatasaray play Fenerbache a day after the final. Istanbul be fucking carnage and one of them will win the league looking at the table now

Should be fun then

His vote share has consistently dropped so expect he will be well below the 50% mark by the time all is done and dusted. Which means the run-off will now be 13 days before the final.

... What could possibly go wrong with that?

This is going to be a disaster, isn’t it? Any possibility of it kicking off in Turkey should be acted on instead of curiously waiting. Another UEFA shambles on the horizon.
