It is clear that the Justice and Development Party (Turkish: AKP) will try to return to power in these most important metropolitan areas of the country.

It is known that Adem Murat Yucel and Mustafa Toklu have put forward their candidacies for the post of mayor in Alanya. The former is the incumbent mayor and a representative of the National Movement Party (Turkish: MNM) party, the latter is the chief architect of Alanya and a member of the ruling party (Turkish: AKP). The final lists of candidates for Turkey's municipal elections will be announced by provincial and district election boards on Sunday, March 3. 

P.S. In Turkey, the administrative fine for not attending the elections is 300 Turkish Liras.
