In Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was dealt a major blow in this weekend’s local elections as his AK Party lost control over the capital Ankara for the first time in 25 years. The opposition People’s Republican Party, or CHP, also appears to be narrowly ahead in Istanbul. Leaders from both parties claimed early victories, but official results have not yet been announced. At least four people were killed and dozens injured across the country in Election Day violence.
