Erdogan's Party Faces Setback in Turkey's Local Elections
AKP Suffers Losses in Major Cities
Istanbul and Ankara Fall to Opposition
Preliminary results from Turkey's local elections indicate a significant setback for the party of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Justice and Development Party (AKP), which has dominated Turkish politics for nearly two decades, has lost control of several major cities, including Istanbul and Ankara.
The main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), has claimed victory in both Istanbul and Ankara, marking a major shift in the country's political landscape.
The election results are seen as a referendum on Erdogan's rule and his increasingly authoritarian policies.
