An important development has occurred in the political ban case of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. The Court of Appeals has announced the approval of the sentence against İmamoğlu.

The court confirmed that İmamoğlu has been deprived of rights, including a political ban. İmamoğlu's lawyer, Kemal Polat, stated that they will appeal the decision.

İmamoğlu has been detained since March 23 due to investigations focused on the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. This case, known as the 'fool case' in the public eye, has caused significant reactions in Turkey.

In this case, İmamoğlu was sentenced for insulting members of the Supreme Election Council, which has sparked major political debates.

İmamoğlu's lawyer stated that the decision has not yet been finalized and that they will take it to the Supreme Court. This process is considered a significant step that could affect İmamoğlu's political career.
