Izmir mayor switches from opposition CHP to Erdogan's AKP party
Summary
Izmir mayor Cemil Tugay, elected in 2024 as a candidate of the opposition CHP, formally joined President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's ruling AKP at a ceremony in Ankara. The move gives AKP its first Izmir mayor in 27 years, though it still lacks a council majority, while opposition figures called it the result of pressure and legal proceedings against opposition mayors.
