Early results from the Turkish municipal elections indicate a potential setback for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party, with the main opposition party leading in the polls. The AK Party's support was reported at 37.5% while the main opposition CHP was ahead with 39%, poised to retain control of Istanbul and Ankara, the country's major cities. These outcomes mark a significant development in the political landscape of Turkey, reflecting a potential shift in public sentiment and support.
