00:00 Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:05 Turkey hosted a local election yesterday.
00:07 President Erdogan and his ruling party, Justice and Development Party,
00:11 not only suffered the biggest defeat in power in more than 20 years,
00:14 but also the lowest support rate in the country.
00:17 According to the initial results of Turkey's state-run TV station TRT,
00:21 the ruling party won 39 mayoral seats in the last term,
00:25 but only 23 seats remain in this term.
00:28 The capital Ankara, the largest city in Istanbul, even lost in some traditional strongholds.
00:34 Erdogan's defeat may indicate that Turkey's political structure has changed.
00:41 This local election was also considered a major confrontation between Erdogan,
00:44 the president, and the main rival, Istanbul Mayor Imamoglu.
00:50 Imamoglu won the first time in 2019 in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey.
00:55 This ended Erdogan's 25-year control of the city.
01:00 Although Imamoglu won the mayoral seat of Istanbul twice in a row,
01:05 he was also faced with another challenge.
01:07 He was accused of insulting members of the election committee.
01:09 This may have led to his ban on political office.
01:13 Some analysts believe that due to the high inflation of nearly 70%,
01:17 the dissatisfaction of the Islamic voters and the call for Imamoglu in Istanbul
01:21 far exceeded expectations, resulting in Erdogan's performance with his party worse than predicted.
01:28 Some voters believe that the election results show that voters have begun to awaken,
01:32 giving the government a head-on blow.
01:35 The price of protest against Turkey is rising every day,
01:37 and people are in deep water.
01:40 Thousands of supporters of the Turkish opposition Republican People's Party
01:47 recently gathered at Istanbul Square, the largest city in Turkey,
01:50 and celebrated the successful re-election of Imamoglu,
01:53 with flags and flags of Turkey in the air.
01:56 When Imamoglu arrived at the scene, he received warm welcome from supporters.
01:59 He also bowed to the supporters on stage and donated the victory to all the people of Istanbul.
02:05 Istanbul won 16 million votes.
02:09 16 million Istanbul citizens won.
02:13 Congratulations.
02:16 No one lost this election. You know that.
02:20 Imamoglu said that this election was the first step for the opposition.
02:24 He believes that Turkey will be better in the future.
02:27 A Turkey where democracy, freedom, equality,
02:30 wisdom, science, love and solidarity are in full swing.
02:36 Some people are happy, some people are sad.
02:41 The result of this election is the worst election in the past 20 years
02:44 since the Turkish government was elected.
02:47 Erdogan admitted that he was wrong in the election
02:50 when he gave a speech at the Presidential Office.
02:53 He promised to review the election and respond to the people's demands.
02:56 Erdogan also said that the election result was the turning point of the ruling party,
02:59 not the end.
03:01 March 31 is not the end for us.
03:04 It is actually a turning point.
03:07 On March 31, the Turkish people will be elected by the local government
03:11 and the Turkish people will be elected by the local government.
03:14 Erdogan's message to the politicians was delivered by the ballot box.
03:18 Regardless of the results, the winner of this election is our democracy.
03:25 Erdogan's message to the politicians was delivered by the ballot box.
03:31 Erdogan's message to the politicians was delivered by the ballot box.
