Of #Turkey's 12 largest cities, the opposition is winning at least 7: #Ankara, #İzmir, #Adana, #Antalya, #Mersin, #Eskişehir, & #Diyarbakır. The largest city #Istanbul is a toss-up! #Bursa, too, is too close to call. AKP is losing Turkey's economic power houses. #TurkeyElections

Amazing the number of places in Central Anatolia where the race is a close two-way between the AKP and MHP. The "we want to protest the government but also vote for the government" vote going to MHP.

Forget Istanbul and Ankara for the moment. The story of this election is being played out in the east — in places like Iğdır, where the MHP's alliance with the AK Party is paying off handsomely so far.https://t.co/aXpPLVRVCL pic.twitter.com/iMnM7jsnum

Remember Turkey's first communist mayor, Fatih Mehmet Maçoğlu? He's on course to becoming the first mayor of a provincial town in Tunceli/Dersim. https://t.co/aXpPLVRVCL pic.twitter.com/W8eX1A1Hiq
