Municipal elections in Türkiye: voters unhappy with galloping inflation. Re-elected last year, President Erdogan hopes to complete his victory by seizing major cities.
But his economic policy, which was supposed to slow inflation, particularly disappointed voters. On Sunday, residents of the country's large cities will elect their mayor but also their municipal councilors, their district mayors and their muhtar, a sort of neighborhood leader. The price increase over one year was 40% before the last elections, compared to 67% last month.
