GREENSBORO, N.C.

Istanbul lays bare Turkey’s electoral fault lines

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:29:58 GMT

“Nothing will be the same.”In a country still reeling from last month’s devastating earthquake, these words from Istanbul’s Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu highlight how the disaster now entirely pervades and steers national politics — with significant potential consequences for the two-decade-long rule of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who faces an election on May 14. İmamoğlu is one of the main opposition politicians seeking to eject the sitting president from power in two months time, and it has escaped no one’s attention that Erdoğan before him had used the Istanbul mayorship as a springboard to national office. And while Turkey’s opposition has rallied behind former bureaucrat Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu as the unity candidate to defeat Erdoğan in the race for the presidency, İmamoğlu has been identified as a vice-president in the wings. Addressing a crowd that greeted him with rapturous applause, İmamoğlu’s main theme at the March 1 event was the need to steel Istanbul itself —...
