土耳其即将举行地方选举，总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安 (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) 试图为其 2019 年的失败报仇，当时世俗反对派共和人民党 (CHP) 赢得了土耳其经济强国伊斯坦布尔的控制权。 Turkey is heading to local elections as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seeks to avenge his 2019 defeat, where the secular opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) won control of Istanbul, Turkey's economic powerhouse. 埃尔多安委托前环境部长穆拉特·库鲁姆在 3 月 31 日的选举中竞选伊斯坦布尔市长。 Erdogan has entrusted his former Environment Minister, Murat Kurum, to run for mayor of Istanbul in the March 31 polls. 这是重新获得控制权的重大努力，特别是在2019年共和人民党还赢得了安卡拉和爱琴海港口城市伊兹密尔，挑战埃尔多安的政治统治地位之后。 This is a significant effort to regain control, especially after the CHP also won Ankara and the Aegean port city of Izmir in 2019, challenging Erdogan's political dominance.
