Turkish Opposition Votes in Primary to Endorse Imamoglu

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - 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.
