  • The mayor of Istanbul is President Erdogan's most serious rival and was about to be selected as an opposition candidate in presidential elections. Shortly before that could happen, Ekrem Imamoglu was arrested.

Ekrem Imamoglu, the Mayor of Istanbul, has emerged as a significant political figure in Turkey, challenging President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's long-standing dominance. Imamoglu, a member of the Republican People's Party (CHP), gained national attention after winning the Istanbul mayoral election in 2019, which was initially annulled by Erdogan's allies but later confirmed in a re-run where Imamoglu secured an even larger victory. His popularity stems from his appeal to a broad electorate, including those disillusioned with Erdogan's rule, due to his moderate stance, effective governance, and his ability to connect with both secular and religious voters. Imamoglu's rise has been marked by his criticism of the government's handling of various issues, including economic policies and disaster response, positioning him as a potential presidential candidate in future elections. His political journey is seen as a beacon of hope for those seeking change in Turkey's political landscape.
