Earlier, in a victory speech, Erdogan said 56 percent of municipalities in Turkey will be run by his AKP.
"I would like to thank all my citizens, especially our Kurdish brothers, for showing sensitivity toward the issue of survival," he said.
Turkey's ruling party is ahead in the race with 16 metropolitan municipalities and 24 cities claimed by its candidates, according to unofficial results, however, it lost the mayoral elections in Ankara, the capital.
For Ankara, Erdogan faced a blow at the hands of secular People’s Republican party (CHP) mayoral candidate, Mansur Yavaş as party leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu claimed his party’s victory in the mayoral elections in Izmir as well, though final results are awaited.
