Memleket Party Chairman Muharrem İnce visited Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu at Silivri Prison. Following the visit, İnce shared a message written in İmamoğlu's own handwriting with his followers on his social media account.

In his post, İnce relayed İmamoğlu's message, stating, 'I am sharing Ekrem İmamoğlu's message with you.' He also noted that the indictment for Zafer Party leader Ümit Özdağ was prepared after 77 days and that he has been held unlawfully for 83 days. Stating that Özdağ's trial has been postponed until June, İnce called out, 'Put an immediate end to these injustices!'

İmamoğlu's message included the following statements:

'It is time for the nation to be one and stand together! We must unite against injustice, poverty, polarization, and in short, against all evils and those who commit these bad practices! Everything will be very beautiful...'
