Pro-Kurdish party DEM revealed this Friday, February 9, the names of its two co-candidates for mayor of Istanbul. Outgoing mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu must this time go it alone.

He will have to convince voters of the DEM party, formerly HDP, which represents around 10% of the votes in Istanbul. On March 31, Ekrem Imamoglu will face at least five other candidates, including the one in power, former minister Murat Kurum.
