Ankara Mayor Melih Gokcek announced after a meeting with Erdogan on Monday that he would step down Saturday.

Gokcek is the fifth elected mayor from Erdogan's party to leave office under pressure from the president. Erdogan has said he wants to "rejuvenate" his party and replace officials he claims suffer from "fatigue." The mayor of Istanbul resigned last month.
