Turkey's main opposition party has claimed big election victories in the main cities of Istanbul and Ankara. The results are a significant blow for Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who had hoped to regain control of the cities less than a year after he claimed a third term as president. He led the campaign to win in Istanbul, where he grew up and became mayor. But Ekrem Imamoglu, who first won the city in 2019, scored a second victory for the secular opposition CHP. Mr Erdogan had vowed a new era in Turkey's megacity of almost 16 million people, but the incumbent mayor of Istanbul secured more than 50% of the vote, defeating the president's AK Party candidate by more than 11 points and almost one million votes. While broad swathes of the west, south and north of Turkey are now under the control of the opposition CHP, the pro-Kurdish Dem party has won control of much of the south-east. Mr Erdogan's AK Party continues to dominate central Turkey and had more success in areas of the south-east devastated by the February 2023 double earthquake, including the cities of Kahramanmaras and Gaziantep, although it did lose control of Adiyaman. Speaking from the balcony of his party headquarters in Ankara, he promised to use the four years before the next presidential election to "renew ourselves and compensate for our mistakes". His supporters chanted back: "Stand still, this nation is with you." About 61 million Turks were eligible to take part in Sunday's election and more than a million young voters were casting their ballots for the first time. Turnout was estimated at more than 77% across the country's 81 provinces.
