Mayoral elections were held in the Turkish province of Kütahya as part of nationwide local elections on 31 March 2024.
Despite being considered a conservative province, the election in the central district of Kütahya resulted in a surprise victory for the secular centre-left Republican People's Party (CHP), which narrowly won against the incumbent nationalist Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).[1]
The results were largely attributed to a split in the right wing vote, with the MHP taking 29.25%, the Justice and Development Party taking 27.70% and the Islamist conservative New Welfare Party (YRP) taking 8.07%. Had these parties entered the election in an alliance, their hypothetical joint candidate could have get about 65% of the vote.
