Ekrem İmamoğlu applied to attend the funeral of Manisa Mayor Ferdi Zeyrek but was denied by the Ministry of Justice.

Ferdi Zeyrek suffered an electric shock at home and passed away in the hospital. İmamoğlu's desire to attend the funeral stemmed from a political and personal connection.

İmamoğlu's lawyers emphasized the importance of his attendance at the funeral in their application to the Ministry of Justice. However, this request was met with a negative response.

The funeral was attended by Zeyrek's family and friends, and the speeches made in his memory were emotional.

İmamoğlu's wish to attend the funeral was seen as an example of political solidarity and friendship. However, due to the current circumstances, this was not possible.
