Surprising defeat for Erdogan and nationalists in elections in Türkiye. Opposition CHP - the party of the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk - won almost 38 percent of the vote nationwide.
In the election, which received particular attention in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, the incumbent mayor Ekrem Imamoglu from the CHP prevailed. “The era of one-person rule ends today,” Imamoglu said. Although his party is ahead, not all votes have been counted yet.
