14 MILLION 800 THOUSAND SIGNATURES FOR İMAMOĞLU
In his speech regarding the campaign, Özel stated the following:
"We have collected 14 million 800 thousand signatures in the largest signature campaign in world political history. Let us state clearly here: these signatures are being collected, stored securely, and archived. A notary will be called, and minutes will be kept, but the Palace, Tayyip Erdoğan, or anyone who could be reached by them will not be able to touch a single signature."
