The election went to a second round because an absolute majority was not reached in the vote between Kılıçdaroğlu and Özel. During this time, a message allegedly sent by Republican People's Party (CHP) Istanbul Provincial Chair Özgür Çelik caused a stir.
The message sent to CHP delegates requested support for Kılıçdaroğlu.
Çelik made a statement regarding the message in question, saying that this message sent in his name was not real.
