which includes 14 out of 30 of the country's urban areas.
State broadcaster TRT said Erdogan's main political
rival in the CHP, Ekrem Imamoglu, was reelected as
the mayor of Istanbul, earning 51.1% of the vote.

one-man rule
is over today, Ekrem Imamoglu, CHP Mayor of Istanbul, via CNN.
As we celebrate our victory, we send
a resounding message to the world:
the decline of democracy ends now.
Istanbul stands as a beacon of hope,
a testament to the resilience of democratic
values in the face of rising authoritarianism, Ekrem Imamoglu, CHP Mayor of Istanbul, via CNN.
Other major CHP victories were scored in Ankara, where
incumbent mayor Mansur Yavas won 60.4% of the vote,
and in Izmir, where Cemil Tugay secured 48.9% of the vote.
