"Opposition Party's Major Victory Deals Blow to Erdogan in Turkey's Local Elections"
TL;DR Summary
Turkey's local elections resulted in a major blow to President Erdogan's AK Party as the opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) claimed victory in key cities including Istanbul and Ankara. This marks the first time Erdogan's party has lost the popular vote since 2002, and the defeat is seen as a significant setback for the president. The election results signal a potential shift in Turkish politics and pose a challenge to Erdogan's leadership, particularly with the re-election of CHP's Ekrem Imamoglu as mayor of Istanbul.
