Ankara: CHP locally, AK Parti nationally The 2024 local election was one-sided in Ankara: CHP took 60.5% in the metropolitan mayoral race, while AK Parti trailed by 28.8 points with 31.7%.
The general election tells a different story: in 2023 the leading party in Ankara was AK Parti with 32.1%. One party leads locally, another nationally — the province's most distinctive feature in recent years.
The same party led in 2018 too; its share has fallen by 8.0 points since.
Two results from the same ballot box differ notably: CHP took 60.5% for the metropolitan mayoralty but 49.4% for the municipal council. The 11.1-point gap suggests votes went to the candidate rather than the party. The invalid-vote rate in Ankara is lower than the national average: 3.2% of ballots cast in the 2024 local election. A high invalid rate is not in itself a sign of irregularity.
