2014 Yalova mayoral election

Yakup Koçal AK Party Vefa Salman

Mayoral elections were held in the Turkish Province of Yalova on 30 March 2014, as part of the nationwide local elections occurring on the same day.

On the initial election held on 30 March 2014, initial results gave Salman a narrow victory, though subsequent recounts requested by the AKP put Koçal ahead by a single vote.

A large recount, requested by the CHP's only MP for Yalova, Muharrem İnce, again resulted in Salman claiming victory.

Subsequent investigations by the Supreme Electoral Council of Turkey cancelled the election altogether due to allegations of misconduct from both sides and the inability to establish the victor after numerous recounts.
