ANKARA - The chairperson of the Justice and Development (AK) Party and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday "I am not satisfied with local elections results so far".
Speaking at a press conference held at the headquarters of the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party on early Monday, Erdogan said that the AK Party struggled not only against opposition within the Turkish parliament and outside of it but also against certain media groups.
Asked by a journalist if the numbers in the elections reached by the AK Party are satisfactory, Erdogan said that "the current picture has not pleased me". We are assertive politicians and want to see better figures, Erdogan stressed.
In response to a question on whether the election results would imply a cabinet shuffle, Erdogan said that "changes in the cabinet were made in the past. We will continue to make changes in the cabinet in the future".
