In 2021, the National Rally of Independents, the Authenticity and Modernity Party, and Istiqlal shared the presidencies of major cities and regional councils, with each party winning four of the 12 regional presidencies. But their alliance shifted ahead of the 2027 elections: the Authenticity and Modernity Party and Istiqlal formed a majority with the Union of Socialist Forces and the Party of Progress and Socialism, while the National Rally of Independents moved into opposition. The Justice and Development Party’s representation in Parliament rose from 13 seats in 2021 to 54 in 2026, after its municipal-election seats fell from 5,021 in 2015 to 777 in 2021. This raises the possibility that it could once again compete for the leadership of some cities. However, who secures those posts will depend on the results in each council and on negotiations to form a majority. The makeup of some councils could allow either the National Rally of Independents or the Justice and Development Party to tip the balance in favour of a candidate.
