The party of Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has lost control of the capital, Ankara, in local elections in what is being seen as a setback to his 16 years in power.

But both his AKP and the opposition claimed to have won the mayoralty of the largest city, Istanbul.

Nationally, the president's AKP-led alliance has won more than 51% of the vote in the municipal elections.
