If you asked me on March 30 if we'd be talking about the CHP's Imamoglu now, I would've said not likely. But here we are, he's the man who won against the AKP's Yildirim in March & whose prominence rose after the vote was annulled over alleged corruptionhttps://au.news.yahoo.com/opposition-istanbul-candidate-shaking-turkish-politics-024625115--spt.html …

State news agency Anadolu says it will start sharing results with the media and public from 7.30pm while Anka news agency says 42.4 percent of ballot boxes have been opened (via Fox Haber). CHP claiming Imamoglu comfortably ahead so far. Usually Anadolu is much faster than this.
