ANKARA (Reuters) - The candidate for Turkey's main opposition party has asked the Constitutional Court to order a re-run of a contested mayoral ballot in the capital Ankara, where he lost to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's AK Party.

The secularist Republican People's Party (CHP) says last month's close Ankara race was marred by fraud including problems with vote counting - charges that Turkey's High Election Board has already rejected.
