Erdogan concedes defeat in Turkish local elections

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan conceded in the early hours of Monday that his Justice and Development Party (AK) had lost the Turkish municipal elections, with the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) taking the lead.

Erdogan described the election outcome as a pivotal moment rather than a defeat, stressing that democracy and the national will are the true winners, irrespective of the results. He praised the Turkish people for delivering their messages to politicians through the ballot box, highlighting that the election’s victor is Turkey itself and its democracy, for which many have paid a high price.
