This is happening today. Polls show that AKP could lose several big cities, although polls in Turkey can be a bit bias. CHP is expected to make significant gains, also according to polls.

Istanbul is very close right now:

85.4% in

49.9% AKP
47.6% CHP

Nonetheless, it seems that AKP will hold on to it by a razor thin margin, unless the last 15% are a huge sum of CHP votes.
