Re-run of Istanbul election sign of dictatorship: opposition party

<p style="text-align: left;">Turkey&amp;rsquo;s main opposition said on Monday it was a &amp;ldquo;plain dictatorship&amp;rdquo; that had decided on a re-run of local elections in Istanbul, after the election board decided to annul vote results showing a painful defeat for President Tayyip Erdogan&amp;rsquo;s party.

&ldquo;It is illegal to win against the AK Party,&rdquo; main opposition CHP party Deputy Chairman Onursal Adiguzel said on Twitter. &ldquo;This system that overrules the will of the people and disregards the law is neither democratic, nor legitimate. This is plain dictatorship.&rdquo;
