Turks are voting in municipal elections with President Erdogan aiming to regain control of Istanbul from rival Ekrem Imamoglu. Imamoglu’s 2019 win marked a significant blow to Erdogan’s AK Party, but Sunday’s results could reinforce Erdogan’s power or signal a shift in Turkey’s political landscape. Economic concerns and Kurdish and Islamist voters’ sentiments may influence the outcome. While Erdogan seeks to win back Istanbul and Ankara, Imamoglu remains a contender appealing to a broad base. The rise of the Islamist New Welfare Party adds complexity to the electoral landscape.
