My understanding is that Icmeler's local elections are being held on the 29th of this month.
The former mayor Zeki Eren is standing again (he lost at the last election), I believe he was in power for about 20 years and basically nurtured Icmeler to the place we have all grown to love.
Talking to our Turkish friends over the last couple of years they believe that the new admistration has made things worse for them and that they wish Zeki was back in power, if they are correct I hope he wins so Icmeler maintains it's special charm
