After Özgür Çelik, whom he supported in Istanbul, became the provincial president, Ekrem İmamoğlu was claimed to be a candidate for the presidency.
The Republican People's Party (CHP) Istanbul Provincial Congress took place last Sunday.
At the congress, Özgür Çelik became CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman and 196 congress delegates were elected.
After the Istanbul Provincial Congress, all eyes turned to the Ordinary Congress to be held on November 5th.
Journalist Ali Avcu made a striking claim about the congress, which is less than a month away.
After the CHP's 38th Istanbul provincial congress, don't be surprised if Özgür Özel, who is a candidate for the chairmanship of the CHP, withdraws in favor of Ekrem İmamoğlu, the Mayor of IBB. I have said before that Ekrem İmamoğlu is the CHP presidential candidate.
