Mayoral elections were held in the Turkish province of Ankara as part of nationwide local elections on 31 March 2024. A total of 26 mayors, one for each of the 25 districts of Ankara and one for the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, were elected.
The results were a landslide victory for the incumbent mayor Mansur Yavaş, the candidate of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), who was re-elected with 60.4% of the vote. The Government candidate was Turgut Altınok of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party), who was the incumbent district mayor of Keçiören. Altınok, who represented the People's Alliance and was therefore also the joint candidate of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), won a distant 31.7% of the vote, representing a significant swing away from the governing alliance in Ankara.
The CHP also gained control of the Ankara Metropolitan Municipal Council, which had previously had a government majority that had curtailed Yavaş's ability as Mayor to initiate substantial decisions during his first term.
Throughout the province, the CHP won a landslide of 16 of Ankara's 25 districts, including Altınok's district of Keçiören. This represented an overall increase of 12 from the previous election. The People's Alliance won 8 districts, down from 21. The results were seen as a redefinition of the traditionally nationalist conservative political landscape of Ankara and an indicator of a possible presidential bid by Yavaş in 2028.[1]
