Erdoğan targets İmamoğlu again! 'The mayor is nowhere to be seen'

President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the public in Arnavutköy.

Highlights from Erdoğan's speech are as follows:

"You have made us happy, you have stood by us. May the Almighty also bring joy to your faces. Vote percentages are not only an indicator of the affection between us, but also mean a great responsibility. From now on, we will continue to try to be worthy of your trust.

Arnavutköy is a district for me with a history spanning 30 years. The current metropolitan mayor of Istanbul does not know where Arnavutköy is. This brother of yours has a history in these 30 years that began with the mayoral term of Bahtiyar Bey here.

The campaign ends this evening. We will cast our votes tomorrow. As we head to the ballot box with full force, are we entrusting Arnavutköy to real municipalism, to my brother Murat Kurum and Mustafa Candanoğlu? We will also protect the ballot boxes tomorrow.

As President, I am by your side when determining local administrators. The ministers are by your side. When local government is also on our side, will Arnavutköy fall behind in services? Let us cast our preference for whoever will serve our district and our city with passion. Can those who can only burn as much as their own size provide service to Arnavutköy?

Did we build Istanbul Airport? It has become one of the world's leading airports. From now on, we will continue in the same way with its roads; we built the Çam Sakura Hospital, but the current mayor did not build the road to it. We built that too, as the Ministry of Transport.

"WE WILL EXPLAIN THAT IT HAS NO STRENGTH LEFT TO LOSE ANOTHER 5 YEARS"

When you go home, I want you to call your spouses, friends, and acquaintances one by one. Then we will explain the importance of March 31. We will ensure that these friends of ours also go to the polls. We will explain that they should not waste their votes by voting for visionless candidates. We will explain that Istanbul does not have the strength left to lose another 5 years to the CHP's perception-based municipalism.

This brother of yours brought this Arnavutköy to a certain level. We took these steps. We know what municipalism is. Now, we have sent a minister friend of mine here as the metropolitan mayoral candidate for Istanbul. We said, 'You will send someone who knows the job.' The moment we choose my brother Murat tomorrow evening, Istanbul will open to a different day starting from Monday. I expect you to protect this city, which is the legacy of Fatih.

HE TARGETED İMAMOĞLU

Some people do the work, while others just talk. Some go to Switzerland to ski. Istanbul gets flooded. The mayor of Istanbul is nowhere to be seen. Some people produce works, while others chase polemics.

When there was a flood in Kastamonu, Murat Kurum was there with his boots on; when there was an earthquake, Murat Kurum was there with his boots on. Where were they? Go look and find them. We are experiencing the happiness of leaving our mark on all 81 of our provinces.

(Murat Kurum) I took him from the ministry and made him a mayoral candidate... Why? Because we know municipalism best."
