Question, are there run-offs if a candidate fails to win 50% + 1 vote?
Please mods, let this stay up.
DEM is the Kurdish party, correct?
This results are provided by Anadolu Agency, known for showing AKP much higher in the first results. So AKP will probably decrease more in the next hours.
you know its really funny when city that is considered fortress of CHP, İzmir, has less votes on CHP than İstanbul and Ankara. it seems AKP voters didnt vote.
Is it certain he loses the big cities? Don’t know how much it can change with the last polling stations?
Im seething at this red-painted map
we’re fucking back bitches!
Lmao wtf is this? For those who don’t know usually when first results come in, Erdogans party begins with over %70 and decreases till normal results. If this shit goes on like this Erdog will be losing 5 largest cities + cities which were called AKP’s castles. Worst local elections since Erdogan came to power lmao.
**Right now election highlights look like this:**
CHP’s (main opposition, social democrats) old chairmans resignation after 2023 election failure/scandal made a good impact among population.
YRP (new religious nutjob party, son of Erdogan’s mentor is chairman) is stealing votes from AKP and even seems like going to win a big city in their first local election.
IP (the good party, centre-right) lost votes but interestingly enough worked pretty local which is probably making them win municipilities, while stealing votes from main opposition party.
AKP (Erdog party, u know them) major failure especially against YRP, probably population is very angry cuz of crippling poverty caused by inflation, map shows that inflation has hit rural municipilities too.
Same comment from removed post for info.
Lets go Turkish opposition to final defeat of the tyrant.
Akp’s era is over.
Brianna – Lost in Istanbul
(Erdoğan’s playlist)
Erdogan will be gone in 2028, the youth votes for CHP, AKP in 20 years for the first time lose to the CHP not in western cities, but lost in turkey as a whole.
Chp become the most voted party in turkey without coalition.
Akp will crack, we can see an early election before 2028 because of economy and these results, islamists will lose to seculars in the next election.
It’s a good day for democracy. If the majority today is voting opposition/against Erdogan, why did he win the presidency? Honest question.
Ankara is kicking ass, victory speech at 10pm
If it wasn’t Kilicdaroglu we could win in 2023 too.
Does that mean that Erdogan is a fucking looser?
Tunceligrad has fallen 😭
The beginning of fall down of Qatar. Once Turkey gets out of their circle of influence, Hamas is destroyed and Syria recapture the north, Qatar will be out baby
ELI5: How important are these elections and how much power do these people on the municipal level have?
In more social-democratic/left-wing newspapers in Germany, it has been reported that soldiers and police have been bussed to “Kurdish towns” in provinces such as Sirnak, Kars, Igdir, Agri, Siirt, Hakkari and Mardin to vote in “civil clothes”. This led to protests.

It seems AKP lost almost every major city, Erdoğan is in shambles.

How was this reported in Turkey?

I have no idea about turkish politics, but doesn’t usually AKP score a bit better geographically? Is that a surge of CHP?
For someone that does not follow Turkish politics, what does this mean?
I understand that Erdogan party is losing points, but to whom? And how do they compare?
Are those more liberal parties or more religious or conservative?
