Answer
Ekrem İmamoğlu received approximately 4.1 million votes in the 2019 Istanbul mayoral election. This outcome led to a narrow victory for İmamoğlu over his main rival, Binali Yıldırım, who was the candidate of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). The election was initially won by Yıldırım but was later annulled due to irregularities, resulting in a re-run that İmamoğlu ultimately won.
