Istanbul, a city as big as A country is important

Turkey has 81 provinces and among these 81 provinces, only 30 provinces have an institution called “Metropolitan Municipality”. What is known as the municipality of a metropolis or a big city in the political and executive divisions of Turkey is first of all important from an economic and executive point of view, and the budgets and credits of metropolises cannot be compared with municipalities of normal provinces.

The mayors of these cities not only have a lot of money and credits to spend and many resources to generate income and collect taxes, but also have a huge possibility to hire people, and as a result, it is natural that the parties seek to win in the big cities and reach power. and more wealth and a stronger social status, but at least in the case of Istanbul, this is not the whole story and it is not only money and employment that has turned Istanbul into a strategic fortress and a matter of life and death for the ruling party and the opposition.

Many Turkish political analysts believe that the result of the Istanbul election can have a direct effect on the fate of the 2028 presidential election.

They say; If Imamoglu wins, he will be a potential president, and Erdogan and his party will forever fear the opposition coming to power. to promote the upcoming elections and at the same time implement the multi-billion dollar mega project of creating a new passage connecting the Black Sea to Marmara through Istanbul.
