Istanbul University announced that Ekrem İmamoğlu's diploma has been revoked. This decision has caused a significant stir in Turkey's agenda.

The revocation of İmamoğlu's diploma was announced in a statement made on March 18, 2025. However, it was revealed that the decision has not yet been communicated, and he still appears as a university graduate on E-Government.

Istanbul University stated that the diplomas of 28 individuals, including İmamoğlu, were revoked due to 'absence' and 'clear error'. İmamoğlu's situation is critical for his presidential candidacy.

İmamoğlu expressed on social media that this decision is unlawful and that their authority has been exceeded. This situation has further escalated the political atmosphere in Turkey.

This decision may affect İmamoğlu's chances of running for president. According to the constitution, a person who is not a university graduate cannot be a presidential candidate.

İmamoğlu's lawyers stated that they will appeal this decision. The judicial process holds great significance for the political future of Turkey.
