Turkey: “The (municipal) elections of March 31 will be the last for me,” says President Erdogan. “What results from this will be a blessing to my brothers who come after me," he said.
During the 2019 municipal elections, the main opposition party, the CHP (social democrat), inflicted a serious blow on the Islamo-conservative power of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. To dethrone the current mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, the Justice and Development Party has appointed a former Minister of the Environment, Murat Kurum.
