Recent developments regarding AKP's plans and maneuvers in Istanbul are drawing attention.

In the last local elections, CHP won 26 out of 39 districts in Istanbul, achieving a significant victory. However, AKP's subsequent operations led to the arrest of many mayors, indicating a systematic strategy targeting Istanbul.

Politician Ahat Andican describes this process as a "usurpation of will through the instrumentalization of law." He states that this process began with President Erdoğan's directive to "shake down the municipalities," resulting in the arrests of 12 mayors in Istanbul.

AKP's strategies in Istanbul aim to sideline mayors and seize control of the council majority. This situation signifies the usurpation of the people's will.

Özgür Çelik pointed out the timing of these operations as an attempt to hinder CHP's path to power. He emphasized that such pressures are aimed at diverting attention from the real issues facing the people.

In conclusion, AKP's plans and maneuvers in Istanbul continue to hold a significant place in Turkey's political agenda. Protecting the people's will and defending democratic values are of utmost importance during this process.
