Imprisoned Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu has lashed out at CHP mayors who defected to the ruling AKP, declaring: "Words and offices belong to the nation! Who are you selling what isn't yours? On August 1, the municipalities of Tuzla, Çekmeköy, and Şile switched from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's AKP.
In a statement released through his Presidential Candidacy Office, İmamoğlu condemned the defections and the broader political climate. "Erdoğan's declared 'new generation organization'! Buying souls and declaring victory with bodies... Threatening with prison and captivity... Forcing the elected to kneel, submit, and kiss hands!
Then applauding this picture in closed rooms! he said. "Our nation has never experienced such a period.
Feelings of dignity, honor, and decency have never been so humiliated. National will has never been so severely damaged. İmamoğlu accused the government of deliberately using the judiciary and state power to claim victory after losing at the ballot box, calling it "the end of a power, the end of a palace regime.
He warned that those who took part in such actions would not be saved by tears of remorse. "This nation will never forgive them! Because words and offices belong to the nation! he added."
