“According to the data we have Ekrem Imamoglu has won,” CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu said as he criticised Yildirim’s statement. “We have won in Ankara, Adana, Antalya, Mersin, Kirsehir, Artvin, Ardahan, Bolu, Bilecik. Turkey has actually won.” Mansur Yavas was also in the room. pic.twitter.com/0uvqdsUo0c

The toll is heavy. AKP has lost 10 municipalities (including Istanbul, it would make 11). Most of these are big metropoles. Moreover, AKP's vote shared decreased in most of the cities that remained AKP municipalities. #TurkeyElections2019

Both CHP leader Kemal Kiliçdaroğlu and İYİ Party’s Meral Akşener claim CHP candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu won #Istanbul. Meanwhile AKP declared victory even though data flow stopped by High Election Board, no full results yet. AKP supporters party on Istanbul streets. Very worrying…

Critical Turkish Fox TV anchor Ismail Karakaya says “for the last 25 minutes, there has been no update to the results for Istanbul.”
It coincides when AKP’s Istanbul candidate Binali Yildirim made his victory announcement.

More craziness. With just 3,000 votes between him and Imamoglu, and over 1% of ballot boxes yet to be opened, Yildirim claims victory. pic.twitter.com/LzMTAnO0a4

AKP losing Ankara to CHP is a big deal. If they lose Istanbul too, and rn it‘s close, then Erdoğan and his party have a serious problem on their hands. Not sure how they’ll react to that kind of loss of power. https://t.co/MEDipfhyIF

Istanbul CHP candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu's speeches were only broadcast on marginal channels and Fox TV – I wonder whether Erdoğan will turn his fire on Murdoch after the election? https://t.co/b5SoRG6SUL
