Millions of Istanbul residents voted Sunday on a re-run of a mayoral election that has become a referendum on President Tayyip Erdogan’s policies.
According to Reuters, the election is being seen as a test of Turkey’s ailing democracy.
In the initial March 31 vote, the opposition Republican People’s Party candidate secured a narrow victory over Erdogan’s AK Party.
It was a rare electoral defeat for the president.
