There were interesting moments at the 111th Term District Governors' Lottery held at the Presidential Complex with the participation of President Erdoğan. While the first duty place of one of the district governor candidates was determined as the Altınekin district of Konya, the lottery was drawn again after it emerged that the candidate's spouse was from Konya.
During the ceremony where the duty locations of 96 district governor candidates were determined, President Erdoğan drew the lot. In the draw, the duty location of one of the candidates was Altınekin district of Konya. However, upon it being stated that the candidate's spouse was from Konya, it was expressed that the draw process needed to be renewed for the appointment.
APPROVAL FROM ERDOĞAN
The officials conveyed the situation to President Erdoğan with the words, "We need to renew it. His spouse is from Konya, sir." Upon this, Erdoğan said, "His spouse is from Konya... They say 'Let's renew it,' let's renew it," and approved the repeat of the draw. Those moments were among the notable images at the ceremony.
NEW DUTY LOCATION BECAME ESKİŞEHİR
In the renewed draw, the district governor candidate's duty location was determined as Alpu district of Eskişehir. Thus, the duty location of the candidate who had been appointed to Altınekin district of Konya in the first draw changed after the draw was renewed because his spouse was from Konya.
