The upcoming local elections in Turkey on March 31 are crucial for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who can’t run again due to term limits. His party suffered defeat in 2019, with Ekrem Imamoglu from the opposition party winning the mayorship of Istanbul. If Imamoglu triumphs again, it could shape the future of the country. Analysts believe Imamoglu has the potential to challenge Erdogan at a national level in the future. The elections will test the strength of the opposition and could impact Turkey’s political landscape for years to come.
