CHP leader Özgür Özel stated that he was disturbed by the statement of Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş, who said she was a candidate for Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Presidency. Özel said, "It is completely premature, unnecessary, and useless. You will not hear such a debate among our mayors again. Ekrem Bey was also not pleased with this agenda. I was not pleased either."

CHP General Chairman Özgür Özel commented on Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş's statement "I am a candidate to manage Istanbul" and said, "Completely too early, unnecessary, and useless. You will not hear such a discussion among our mayors again. Ekrem also did not like this agenda. I didn't like it either."

ÜSKÜDAR MAYOR: I AM A CANDIDATE TO MANAGE ISTANBUL

While the discussions about Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu being the presidential candidate of the CHP in the upcoming general elections continue, Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş made a remarkable statement in the past weeks. Dedetaş said that she is "a candidate to manage Istanbul."

ÖZEL: COMPLETELY EARLY, UNNECESSARY STATEMENT"

CHP General Chairman Özgür Özel reacted to Dedetaş's statement in an interview with Gerçek Gündem. Özel stated that Dedetaş made an unnecessary move and said the following: "Completely too early, unnecessary, and useless. Instead of a special interview, our mayor friend responded to a friendly conversation with a journalist brother living in Paris, who has a journalist background, during the Paris Olympics. 'Are you ready if there is such a duty?' He said, 'I am ready,' that's all. You will not hear such a discussion among our mayors again.

"CREATING SUCH AN AGENDA FOR NO REASON IS NOT RIGHT"

Both in terms of the presidential candidate of the Republican People's Party and the discussions about who will replace him if we have a presidential candidate. I do not find it right to create such an agenda for no reason regarding the names that will replace him.

"İMAMOĞLU AND I ARE NOT HAPPY"

You will not hear such a thing again. Our friends have been warned. We said, 'There is no need for such a thing.' Ekrem also did not like this agenda. I didn't like it either. Our friends are not ill-intentioned. They are new to politics a little bit. But we will not create such an agenda among ourselves again."
