Turkey: Erdogan casts his vote in local elections
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan cast his vote in the country's municipal elections in Istanbul's Uskudar district on Sunday. Press and officials surrounded the PM, who attended the polling station with his wife. Uskudar is Prime Minister Recep Tayyip's Erdogan's constituency.
With bans on Twitter, YouTube and a number of high-profile leaks over recent months, Turkey's AK party has found itself under increasing pressure. Over 52 million people are expected to head to polling stations on Sunday, while eight people were reportedly killed in clashes.
