Television presenter Buket Aydın, who stated during a live broadcast with Murat Kurum, the AKP's candidate for Istanbul, that she would not vote for Ekrem İmamoğlu, has become a trending topic on social media again due to a past comment she made. 

In the footage that has gone viral, Aydın, who says she will not vote for Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, is seen saying the following: 

“Selçuk Bey's talk about his candidacy for the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayoralty harms the government. Are you elevating Ekrem İmamoğlu this much? Is he such an important and valuable personality? Who is Ekrem İmamoğlu? A mayor…”

NOTABLE COMMENT FROM ÖZGÜR DEMİRTAŞ

Economist Özgür Demirtaş, who commented on Aydın's footage via his social media account, spoke harshly. Stating, "You cannot talk like this to someone elected by millions," Demirtaş used the following expressions:

"You're just a lousy news anchor.

Who are you to talk like this against someone who has received the votes of MILLIONS of people?

You are a person who is terrified that your credit card limit will run out.

You cannot talk like this to someone elected by millions."
