The Istanbul mayoral candidate of the TKP, Zehra Guner Karaoglu, received 10,492 votes in the March 31 local election, which was won by the Republican People’s Party candidate Ekrem Imamoglu. He beat President Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party candidate by some 13,000 votes but his victory was annulled. On Thursday, another small center-right party also said it would not take part in the June 23 election. So far at least three parties have withdrawn candidates though not all have explicitly backed the CHP.
Imamoglu’s surprise victory in March was the first time in 25 years that Erdogan’s AKP or its Islamist predecessors had failed to win control of Istanbul.
