Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has pledged to address the concerns raised by the recent election results, which saw his ruling party suffer significant losses. The election outcome, widely viewed as a rebuke to Erdogan's leadership, has prompted him to promise a period of reflection and reform.
The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost control of key cities, including the capital Ankara and Istanbul, in the local elections held on Sunday. This setback marks a significant shift in the political landscape of Turkey, where Erdogan's party has held power for over a decade.
