Supporters of Turkish opposition celebrate in the streets after election victories

Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his party suffered their biggest upset in more than two decades on Sunday as the opposition swept municipal elections in Istanbul and other major cities.
The Republican People’s Party (CHP) retained mayoral seats in two key cities - Istanbul and the capital, Ankara.
The CHP also gained 15 new mayoral seats in cities across the country, advancing in locales that were previously strongholds of the Turkish president and his AK Party (AKP), marking the worst defeat since the latter came to power 21 years ago.

Dictators do not lose elections, there are still ignorant people who say he is a dictator.

[@questions_answered]

Who told India is in hands of dictator, People in India meaning majority voted for Modi, his approval rate is also the highest in the world and also he is the most popular leader in the world, how can a people voted leader be dictator. Also Modi's party is only in north side, while in south side its BJP never got a grip, that's how democracy works. If he was dictator that would be the best I think but he is not. Other than Modi,India doesn't have a good opposition or opposition leader, that's the problem. Even after all the opposition parties joined together and formed a alliance its totally usless. They don't have a good leader to contest against MODI thats the problem,
