Imamoglu has won the renewed election again with inreasing the difference by 54% to 45%. I have worked on polling clerk. As a result, we have won.
So is Ergodan finished or can he pull some more "dirty tricks"?
And is Turkey likely to see more freedom under Imamoglu? Let's hope so.
These were mayoral elections, Imamoglu is now mayor of Istanbul, not president of Turkey. Erdogan is still president, but Istanbul is the largest municipality in Turkey if I recall correctly, so it's a big deal.
With this support, Imamoglu is said to have the power to win the presidential election in 2023. perhaps the early general election in 2020 may be. He must does one of two things. Either He must work well in Istanbul and prove that he is trying to fulfill his promises. He may not be able to fulfill all his promises, because Erdogan's party still holds the majority in city council. Erdogan also has broad presidential powers. Or Imamoglu must prove that he is doing the right thing at least and that he is intentionally hindered.
it is difficult to predict what will happen from today. I also don't think that İmamoğlu wants the presidency personally. because he said for the last time about the presidency: "politics wear me down. I want to serve Istanbul for the last time and then leave politics, to return to my own business".
Apart from that, it is still a good thing, it seems not everybody is fooled by Erdogan.
What includes the people you aimed when said everybody:
- 0% of ceos
- 15% of general managers, managers
- 25% of university teachers , doctors and academics
- 30% of university graduates
- 50% of high school graduates
- 60% of middle school graduates
- 80% of elementary school graduates
- 90% of illiterate people.
the results of many research give similar results. Our problem here is the group includes first 4 education level is numerically less than last 3. there is a principal struggle on high school graduates. high school graduates can evaluate events, but slow evaluation. We still wait them to understand.
