Recent political developments in Istanbul are significantly impacting Ekrem İmamoğlu and the CHP. The appointment of a trustee to the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency has intensified internal tensions within the party.

With the appointment of Gürsel Tekin as a trustee, access to the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency has been restricted. Mahmut Tanal protested this situation, criticizing the police for smoking inside the party office.

Tanal highlighted the violations of law through social media, emphasizing that CHP offices are not smoking rooms. This situation has further deepened the conflicts within the party.

Additionally, CHP deputies Mahmut Tanal and Servet Mullaoğlu were injured during the police intervention. Tanal was hospitalized due to an eye injury and stated that the events were unlawful.

These events raise questions about the understanding of democracy and the rule of law in Turkey. Ekrem İmamoğlu and the CHP are fighting to protect the will of the people during this process.
