The Ministry of Interior announced the suspension of the mayors of Mardin, Batman, and Halfeti, while Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu did not remain silent about the developments. IMAMOGLU HAS A STATEMENTFollowing the appointment of a trustee to the Esenyurt municipality in Istanbul, İmamoğlu commented on the developments, stating, "The government has lost control and is experiencing inconsistent and unserious fluctuations." "THE CONTINUITY OF VOTER WILL IS ESSENTIAL"İmamoğlu continued his message; "Just a week ago, Ahmet Türk, who reconciled families with the Vice President, has become a terrorist this week. In democracies, the continuity of voter will is essential. If an elected official is suspended, another elected official, meaning one of the members of the Parliament, should take their place. The right to vote belongs solely to the voter and cannot be transferred. I am returning from Cairo, where I came for the UN Habitat meeting, and we are holding an extraordinary meeting of the Union of Turkish Municipalities tomorrow."
