ANKARA (AA) - Turkish president said on Monday the number of women mayors in his ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party are "not enough" and that it should increase.

Speaking at a training program of AK Party women’s branch at the party's headquarters in Ankara, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the number of women mayors should reflect the proportion of women in the population.

"AK Party has eight women mayors. We do not see this as adequate. Our desire is to reflect a proportional picture according to the population," Erdogan stressed.

Erdogan said the full reflection of the results of June 24 general elections in Turkey will be related to the success of the upcoming 2019 local elections.

The local elections are set to be held on March 31, 2019.
