At the rally organized by his party in Kadıköy, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who appeared on top of a bus alongside Istanbul Provincial Chairman Özgür Çelik, who was removed from his position by a court decision, pointed to Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as a trustee to the provincial chairmanship without naming him, and said, "We placed the wreath for September 9 not with the 5,000 police who came to the party on September 8, but with 7,000 people together with Özgür Çelik on September 9."

After the arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu, the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) who was removed from his position, on March 23 as part of a 'corruption' investigation, the CHP began organizing rallies titled 'Defending the Will of the Nation', with this week's location being the Kadıköy District of Istanbul.

BOMB SENT FROM ÖZGÜR ÖZEL TO GÜRSEL TEKİN

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, addressing the crowd, targeted Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as the trustee of the Istanbul Provincial Presidency by court order. Without naming him, Özel pointed to Tekin, saying, "We placed the September 9 wreath not with the 5,000 police who came to the party on September 8, but with 7,000 people together with Özgür Çelik on September 9, with 7,000 people!"

"WE WILL NOT REMAIN SPECTATORS TO THE ATTEMPT TO HAND OVER OUR ISTANBUL PROVINCIAL PRESIDENCY TO A TRUSTEE BY POLICE FORCE"

Özel continued his speech as follows: "We will certainly not remain spectators to the attempt to hand over our Istanbul Provincial Presidency to a trustee by police force, based on a decision that has no legal legitimacy and is politically motivated. Under all circumstances, we will resist using every means. We will fully defend the will of our party members and the nation. The Republic of Turkey was established so that the will of the people prevails, and those in power cannot step outside the law; those who come by election should go by election. We will not leave our Republic to a handful of people who consider themselves the absolute rulers of the country and dream of dynastic rule. The will of the people will prevail. Those in power cannot step outside the law. Those who come by election will go by election."
