Most attention in today’s elections is focused on the city of Istanbul, which houses nearly one-fifth of Turkey’s population.

The current mayor of this city, Ekrem Imamoglu, is an opposition politician and his rival is Binali Yildirim, a former cabinet minister.

Mr. Imamoglu is remembered as a potential rival to Mr. Erdogan in future presidential elections.

This voting is taking place amidst severe economic problems, including nearly 70% inflation in Turkey.
