Murat Kurum, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) mayoral candidate for the People's Alliance, formed by the AKP and MHP, continues his local election campaign.
During a speech at an event, Kurum's misquotation of the proverb "The market in Bor has passed, ride your donkey to Niğde" as "The market in Bolu has passed" became a trending topic on social media.
A response to Murat Kurum came from CHP Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan.
Sharing the video of Kurum on his social media account, Özcan used the following expressions:
"Regarding 'The market in Bolu has passed.' Don't be sad, Mr. Murat Kurum, we hold it regularly every Monday.
It is still not too late for anything; you had better forget about Istanbul and come be my rival in Bolu."
