it's a major setback for president erdogan.u is from sao paulo university. this is his take. it is a big loss, for various reasons. after losing istanbul narrowly in the first election, on the 31st of march, erdogan faced a choice, he would either accept the loss of istanbul, which is the cash cow of his economy and the big symbol of his regime in government really, but maintain his respect for democracy and democratic legitimacy, which he always emphasises — this sanctity of the ballot box — or he would try to hold onto istanbul by undemocratic means, if necessary, and risk that democratic legitimacy. what happened, by cancelling this first election, and then losing the rerun by a humiliating margin however, is, astonishingly, we now see erdogan having lost both istanbul and jeopardise his democratic legitimacy, which is quite astonishing to see a series of misjudgements from a political tactician, a seasoned politician, such as erdogan. what that means, the same time, what that reveals is that the akp machinery is no longer a

how president erdogan will rue those words.precursor of a future contest between mr imamoglu and president erdogan. that presidential election, the next one, is currently scheduled for 2023. but given the crushing defeat that mr erdogan has suffered, and given the fact that the knives are coming out within the governing ak party, the splits already deepening, there is talk of high—level figures splitting and forming their own political groupings which would haemorrhage support from recep tayyip erdogan. that election could be brought forward and then who knows? we might face a presidential contest between the new mayor of istanbul and president erdogan, and certainly at the moment, it feels like ekrem imamoglu has got the wind in his sails. he is on the trajectory upwards. turks like backing a winner, and at the moment, that feels as though ekrem imamoglu is heading in that direction. mark, do you think that this is going to provoke a stronger crackdown from mr erdogan in response, or is he likely to go down a route of perhaps

and so let's characterize what this means to the erdogan camp. what kind of blow is this to him? >> reporter: well, you know, natalie, this is seen as perhaps the biggest blow to president erdogan during his political career. there's lots of questions right now about how wise that decision was to contest the initial elections that took place on march the 31st, to call for a rerun of these elections. it is seen as a miscalculation that has really back firefired. you know, this is definitely a big blow for him and especially his ruling party, that for more than 15 years has really dominated elections here. you've had this winning streak that seems to have come to an end. many are seeing this as perhaps the beginning of the end here. you know, istanbul is not only significant for president erdogan, you know, it's significant for him for so many different reasons. whether it is the fact that this is the financial capital of this country. a lot of power and prestige that comes from controlling turkey's largest city. but this is also where he launched his political career. he was mayor

erdogan cancels the russian deal or he doesn't. and there is no future for turkey, having both russian weapons and american f-35's. there's no third option. there's no path for mitigation that will allow turkey to have its cake and eat it too. we cannot risk exposing our national security technology to russia. there's no partisan divide on this issue. the state department, the defense department, the treasury, even vice president pence have all been raising the alarm and urging president erdogan to cancel the sale. i hope president trump listens to his advisors and makes sure turkey's leaders understand the consequences of their actions. and the consequences are serious. if turkey follows through with the acquisition of the s-400, it would trigger sanctions that congress overwhelmingly, bipartisanly passed two years ago. it's critical that turkey know that the united states will use these tools if the situation arises. in the meantime, it's important that we pass this measure and send a clear message the united states will not sit

for more than 25 years, erdogan?d, incapable of dividing him. they have —— are capable of challenging him. they have found their voice. turkey is a profoundly polarised country, which president anyone has a rule through this kind of divide and rule strategy. and the other side of this country was yearning for somebody who would represent them and who could challenge the president. they have found that in a softly spoken, relentlessly positive a9—year—old former mayor of a district of istanbul, little known previously, he has now managed to channel that desire for hope and optimism and is the new mayor elect of istanbul. what all this means is that i think it isa what all this means is that i think it is a turning point for turkey. it will be seen very much as the beginning of the end for president out one by many here. there will be talk of the post erdogan era. there are already splits within his own party, theirs will be deepened and there whispers will only grow louder over when rather than if president anyone‘s y

when it comes to president erdogan and his ruling party.here's a long list of reasons why istanbul is important. that march 31st vote was a big blow for erdogan and his party. they lost the three major cities. the capital, istanbul, that is the financial and economic hub of this country, its financial capital and the city of ismere. this is where president erdogan launched his political career. in 1994 he was voted in as mayor of istanbul. and there is a lot of power and prestige that comes with being in control of istanbul. the big question is whether both sides will accept whatever the result may be of today, you know, for the opposition. march 31st was a very significant moment. it really was reintegrating for the opposition. they felt they have the confidence to change this status quo. they've been so concerned about the direction their country is taking. so many saying it is on the path to becoming a atocracy. we'll have to wait and see what happens today. people we're speaking with are saying they really hope, no matter what the resul

this was always much more than just a local election, it was a pivotal test for president erdogan, thisone of the key figures in the world stage from everything from european security to syria, then he faced imamoglu, who managed to crystallise the hopes of his supporters in this profoundly polarised country yearning for change, yearning for a positive optimistic message, and mr imamoglu victory, much larger than the election held in march, of which this was the second rerun, will be a huge blow for president erdogan, the biggest blow in his 25 year political history. he said whoever wins istanbul wins turkey, and he will regret that statement tonight, as this victory by imamoglu, is this now the beginning of the end for president erdogan? let is go back to live footage. various beaches being made, we are also seeing pictures of huge crowds that we might cut too, we have no control over the live pictures coming in from turkey at this point, and moments ago they were dwelling on scenes of thousands of people waving the red turkish flag, and there they are. as if on cue. it is fairto ther
