Projections and results of the Turkish elections: Erdogan suffers a bitter defeat. CHP ahead of AKP nationwide in local elections.

In Bursa, the opposition party continues to expand its lead. There are signs of a change of government there for the first time in 20 years. The election took place against an increasingly difficult economic backdrop. Apartment rents, energy costs and even basic foodstuffs have become unaffordable for many people. The opposition is also probably ahead in the tourist hotspot of Antalya and in Adana.
