Imamoglu made the following statement on his social media accounts:
"You remember the night of March 31, 2019. Banners claiming victory were hung all over Istanbul.
But those banners didn't feature the winners, they featured the losers.
That day, they paid the price for distorting the truth by losing even more heavily.The government, which lacks the courage to face the truth, is taking refuge in smear campaigns, lies, and slander.
You wrote thousands of pages of indictments, but you could not explain them to the public.You filled thousands of billboards with untr
uths.
You are trying to deceive the people.distor tedwith banners, you still won't be able to explain it to the public.
Because those who betray the truth betray the nation.
However, this nation knows its own reality not from billboards, but from its own kitchen. It knows from the market. It knows from the child who goes hungryat schoolHe knows it from the hopeful youth and the retirees struggling with poverty.
Best of luck with your LOSING campaign.
The people of Istanbul have already erased you from their lives, now it is Turkey's turn.
The people will win!"
