Turkey's nationwide local elections are seen by analysts as a gauge of both President Erdogan's support and the opposition's durability.

President Erdogan fails to regain Turkey's big cities that he lost five years ago.

Turks voted on Sunday in municipal elections focused on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's bid to reclaim control of Istanbul from rival Ekrem Imamoglu, who aims to reassert the opposition as a political force after election defeats last year.

Initial vote results are expected by early evening.
