Turkey's opposition seeking recount of Ankara poll results

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's main opposition party is hopeful an internal recount of votes from Sunday's local polls will help reverse a victory for the ruling party in the capital Ankara, but a final verdict from electoral authorities is likely to take weeks.

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's Islamist-rooted AK Party largely dominated Turkey's electoral map on Sunday's local polls, keeping control of the main cities, including the financial centre Istanbul.
