In daily press conferences - and on his Twitter biography - Ekrem Imamoglu of the opposition CHP party says he's the new mayor.
Preliminary results from the election board show he won the local election here last weekend by some 25,000 votes.
But across the city the ruling AK Party has put up victory posters, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and candidate Binali Yildirim thanking Istanbul for the win.
The government has challenged the Istanbul results and ordered recounts.
Although it won most votes across Turkey, it lost the capital, Ankara, and Izmir. The AKP is also contesting the CHP victory in Ankara.

Well shoot it's not like we're all that better. It's been proven that W lost the election and the Supreme Court just gave the Presidency to him.

I think Mr Imamoglu had better keep a low profile for a while, lest the Turk pay him a visit inviting him to leave.

I was thinking the invitation would be for a hole approximately six feet below ground.
