Kılıçdaroğlu's claim that angered İmamoğlu: I am having difficulty understanding where this rumor came from.

The insistence of former President Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu to open an office and stay in the political scene continues to create a crisis within the CHP, which achieved a great gain by becoming the first party in the March 31 elections.

CLAIM THAT STIRRED UP ANKARA

A claim that was put forward recently had stirred up the Ankara political circles. It was alleged that a CHP executive went to Kılıçdaroğlu and said, "Support us, let's bring Ekrem İmamoğlu instead of Özgür Özel."

KILIÇDAROĞLU BREAKS HIS SILENCE

While the claim, which was also covered by some media outlets, caused a wide reaction in the public, former CHP President Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu broke his silence on the matter.

"WE TALKED TO EKREM BEY DURING THE HOLIDAY, BUT THAT WAS IT"

Speaking to Sözcü's Aytunç Erkin, Kılıçdaroğlu said, "I don't want to get involved in these discussions. Yes, we talked to Ekrem Bey during the holiday and exchanged holiday greetings. That was it. I find it difficult to understand where and how these rumors are coming from."
