Recap radio: Turkey elections 2024 | Ep 2: Antalya

In its second episode, Recap radio looks at Antalya, a legacy swing province where the municipality has switched between AKP and CHP mayors for decades.

This tendency makes Antalya "a good reflection of Turkey's cross section," according to Emre Peker, director for Europe at the Eurasia Group consultancy.

Additional guests include journalist Erdem Güner, Antalya resident Nuran Özkırım and Berk Esen, associate professor of political science at Sabancı University in İstanbul.

Research, reporting and production by host Azra Ceylan. Editing by Diego Cupolo, Gonca Tokyol and Ingrid Woudwijk.

Recap radio is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
