Turkey has entered the atmosphere of local elections. Istanbul is at the top of the list of cities where the local elections on March 31, 2024, are most anticipated.
MULTI-CANDIDATE ELECTION RACE IN ISTANBUL
The AKP has nominated Murat Kurum to run against the incumbent Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu in an effort to win back Istanbul, which it lost in 2019.
The İYİ Party, which decided to enter the local elections 'freely and independently', has nominated Buğra Kavuncu. Yeniden Refah Party will enter the race with Mehmet Altınöz, Saadet Party with Birol Aydın, Zafer Party with Azmi Karamahmutoğlu, and the DEM Party with Meral Danış Beştaş and Murat Çepni.
While the race in Istanbul, which will see a multi-candidate election, is expected to be between Murat Kurum and Ekrem İmamoğlu, public opinion research companies continue their polling efforts.
Finally, the results of the election poll conducted in Istanbul by SONAR Research, known for its proximity to the government, have been revealed.
Sharing the poll results on a live broadcast on CNN Türk, the founder of SONAR Research, Hakan Bayrakçı, said, "The situation in Istanbul is neck-and-neck."
Here are Bayrakçı's statements:
"I WILL EXPERIENCE THE TOUGHEST ELECTION IN ISTANBUL"
"The announced candidates have taken what they could from İmamoğlu and Kurum. It has come down to the wire again... I have never seen such a neck-and-neck race."
"2 MONTHS AGO, İMAMOĞLU WAS AHEAD"
There was a difference in the polls 2 months ago, but the candidates had not been announced yet, and İmamoğlu was ahead. Then the candidates were determined, everything developed rapidly, and we are conducting polls at 10-day intervals.
RACE IN ISTANBUL IS NECK-AND-NECK
It came before me the day before yesterday. Out of those who participated in the poll, 1391 people said Murat Kurum, and 1400 people said İmamoğlu... 10, 8 people more... There is a difference of 0.2, 0.1 percent.
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY?"
Can I say who is ahead now? The margin of error is already 1.3. When it is this neck-and-neck, what are you going to say?"
