Detained Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) Mayor and CHP presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu conducted an interview with journalist Fatih Altaylı, who is also being held at Silivri Prison.
Speaking to Altaylı in the same prison, İmamoğlu's remarks drew attention, particularly with his assessments regarding Mansur Yavaş.
In his statement, Altaylı emphasized that İmamoğlu's expressions were interpreted as support for Mansur Yavaş.
"In the interview I conducted with Ekrem İmamoğlu, his praise for Mansur Yavaş was perceived as him supporting Yavaş as the CHP's candidate," said Altaylı, noting that these statements have sparked different reactions within the party.
"CANDIDACY DEPENDS ON MANSUR YAVAŞ'S DECISION"
Reminding that both İmamoğlu and Yavaş were among the potential CHP presidential candidates in the past, Altaylı made assessments regarding the course of the process.
"If it is not İmamoğlu, the CHP's candidate is Yavaş," said Altaylı, continuing his words as follows:
"Mansur Bey's candidacy depends solely on whether Mayor Mansur wants it or not. If Yavaş says 'I am a candidate,' he will be the CHP's candidate; I have no doubt about that."
