After the proclamation of the republic on 29 October 1923, the governor of the city was charged with the duties as deputy mayor. With the municipality act of 3 April 1930, the title of mayor was abandoned and the governor of Istanbul province took over the duties of the mayor. The two separate councils of the province and the municipality were unified. The two councils were reestablished on 1 March 1957.
The municipality act of 27 July 1963 enabled the election of the mayor. The polls held on 17 November 1963 were the first regional elections to elect the mayor.
