The Turkish opposition’s stunning turnround: President Erdoğan must resist returning to populist policies, and stifling his competitors
ft.com/content/86c3f1cb-5d40-49dd-8971-66565577f4ae
Quick Glance: The Turkish opposition’s remarkable transformation
- President Erdoğan should avoid reverting to populist policies and suppressing his competitors.
- In a remarkable shift in its fate, the opposition Republican People’s party (CHP) secured 38 percent of the national votes, while support for the AKP dropped to 35 percent.
- The outcomes of the local elections have demonstrated that millions of Turks still believe in the power of the ballot box and are willing to utilize it to express their dissatisfaction with the president and his AKP's governance.
- It is crucial for Erdoğan to maintain the economic course and resist any temptation to return to his detrimental past policies. This would have dire consequences for Turkey. Additionally, there should be no endeavor to utilize state tools to undermine the opposition's achievements.

Quick Glance: Turkish Electoral Board Controversy: Van Mayorship Shifted from DEM Party to AKP Candidate
- Despite the pro-Kurdish DEM Party's victory in the mayoral elections, the electoral board in Turkey's Van province on April 2 awarded the metropolitan mayorship to the ruling AKP candidate.
- The board decided to hand the "certificate of election" to AKP's Abdullahat Arvas, who received only 27.15% of the votes in the province.
- Zeydan's lawyer called this a "first" in the Republic's history and announced legal action against the electoral board's decision.
- The DEM Party secured victories in all 13 district municipalities and the metropolitan municipality in the Kurdish-majority eastern province, which was previously under government-appointed trustee administration.
