CHP Chairman Özgür Özel stumbled over his words during a live broadcast while talking about the CHP's presidential candidate, Ekrem İmamoğlu. Özel mistakenly referred to İmamoğlu as "Ekrem Erdoğan."
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who answered questions related to the agenda on İlke TV, made a humorous gaffe while making a statement about his party's presidential candidate, referring to Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was arrested and dismissed due to a 'corruption' case.
"OUR CANDIDATE IS CLEAR EKREM ERDOĞAN"
Özel stated, "Our candidate is clear, Ekrem Erdoğan." Realizing his mistake within seconds, CHP leader Özel tried to correct the situation by saying, "Well, Ekrem İmamoğlu." This momentary slip of the tongue by the CHP leader quickly became a trending topic on social media.
