Van, Nov 1 () - Justice and Development Party (AKP) district head Halit Toktaş has been detained at a polling station in Turkey’s eastern Van province after quarreling with election observers from the Kurdish problem-focused Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP).

While HDP supporters claimed Toktaş drew his gun, AKP provincial head Zahir Soğanda denied the allegations, claiming the HDP supporters, who were at the polling station to vote, attacked Toktaş.

According to his statement, although Toktaş initially filed a complaint, the issue was later resolved between the parties.
