Başak Demirtaş, the wife of former HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş, has been the subject of claims that she applied to the DEM Party for the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality mayoral candidacy, to which Sezai Temelli has now responded.
Speaking to journalist Zübeyde Sarı, Temelli stated, "They have reported my words, 'It is pleasing that Başak Demirtaş wants to be a candidate,' in this way today. It is not true."
