Turkish opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) members and others head to polling stations on Sunday for a primary election to endorse detained Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu as candidate for the next presidential election.
The CHP has called for non-party members to vote to boost public resistance following Imamoglu's detention over charges including graft and aiding a terrorist group. Imamoglu denies the charges.
CHP, which has more than 1.5 million members, set up 5,600 ballot boxes for voting across all of Turkey's 81 provinces. Polls will close at 1400 GMT.
The next election is scheduled to be held in 2028.
