The mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) announced he had been re-elected in Sunday's local elections there.

"We are in first position with a lead of more than a million votes ... We have won the election," he told reporters, adding that 96 percent of ballot boxes had been opened.
