Recent developments in Istanbul are critical for Ekrem İmamoğlu and CHP municipalities.

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into the CHP municipalities of Sarıyer, Şişli, Ataşehir, and Maltepe for allegedly financing the DHKP/C terrorist organization between 2014-2016. A simultaneous operation was conducted at 34 addresses, resulting in the detention of 32 individuals.

Among those detained is K.Ö., an advisor to İmamoğlu. This situation raises questions about how it will affect İmamoğlu's political career. The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality has announced that it will initiate legal proceedings against these claims.

It has been reported that former Sarıyer Mayor Şükrü Genç is also wanted in connection with this investigation. These developments could further escalate the political atmosphere in Istanbul.

How will these developments in Istanbul affect CHP's strategies ahead of local elections? Public reactions to this issue are eagerly awaited.
