Turkish Local Elections: Erdogan Suffers "Historic Loss" as Opposition Stuns | Firstpost POV
Turkey's local elections on Sunday, a key popularity test for Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party, saw the opposition rebound from its presidential election defeat last year and support for Erdogan's conservative Islamic AKP tumble to its lowest ever. It is the biggest blow in more than two decades to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling AKP party. Although he avoided uttering the word "defeat", Erdogan said Sunday's vote was a "turning point" for his party after two decades in power. Is this a major setback for Erdogan? If the presidential polls were held today, would Erdogan win? We discuss all this and more with Yusuf Erim who is the Editor-at-large at TRT World on Firstpost POV.
