UPDATE 4-Erdogan on track to lose Turkey's biggest cities in shock poll upset

While official vote tallies and Turkish broadcasters put the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) candidates ahead in both cities, the Islamist-rooted AKP promised appeals that could delay the final results for days.
