The People's Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) won Hilvan (Curnê Reş) Municipality, according to unofficial results.

DEM Party's co-chair candidates Serhan Paydaş and Garip Yeşil received 10 thousand 730 votes. AKP's candidate received 7 thousand 420 votes. The co-chairs who won the election thanked the crowd in front of the party building.

Garip Yeşil said: "We thank all the people of Hilvan. We owe this victory most of all to the women of Hilvan. Congratulations to all of you."

Paydaş said: "We lifted this isolation on Hilvan together. For more than 5 years, this city was run by those who served only their own supporters. We will serve all Hilvan residents."

Paydaş said that they dedicated the election results to the Kurdish politician Muhsin Melik, who was murdered 30 years ago, and added: “The winners of this election are young people and women. Today is a very meaningful day. As you know, we buried our first dead yesterday. That's why we won't celebrate. After we receive our certificate of registration, we will hold our celebration in Hilvan on a suitable date."
