ANKARA: Turks voted in local elections on Sunday which President Tayyip Erdogan has described as a matter of survival for Turkey.

President Erdogan, who dominated Turkish politics for more than 16 years, has become the country’s most popular, yet also most divisive, leader in modern history.

However, observers say the President could be dealt an electoral blow with polls indicating his ruling AK Party (AKP) may lose control of the capital Ankara as well as in Istanbul. (Agencies)
