"Istanbul's Local Elections: A Decisive Moment for Turkey's Future"
TL;DR Summary
The upcoming local elections in Turkey, particularly the mayoral race in Istanbul, hold significant importance as they could potentially dictate the country's future. A victory for the opposition, particularly incumbent mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, would challenge President Erdogan's hold on power and set the stage for the 2028 presidential election. The elections also reflect the country's increasingly authoritarian tendencies, with concerns about media control and limitations on public discourse.
