What shapes Turkiye's municipal elections? | Inside Story

It's a vote that could define the future of Turkish politics...
Municipal elections are held in all 81 provinces, but the real battle is for Istanbul.
There's a saying in Turkish politics: Whoever wins Istanbul wins Turkiye.
And that's why this vote is a test for President Erdogan's AK Party. It lost Istanbul to the opposition five years ago. There's a lot at stake in this race, high inflation, political divisions and international pressures all play a role. So, how could the outcome alter the country's prospects for years to come?

Jdg 16:13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web. Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Rev 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. Mat 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

If ruling party is an authoritarian regime that prevents people from democracy and influence and prevent a fair and free elections yet the opposition STILL wins, no one cares who says what that shows people’s will to enforce democracy DESPITE their efforts.
