While discussions about the presidential candidacy in the CHP continue, journalist Sinan Burhan claimed, "If Özgür Özel does not become a candidate, Selin Sayek Böke will be nominated with the support of Ekrem İmamoğlu."
During his term as the Mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was arrested as part of bribery and corruption investigations, stated in a message from prison, "If I cannot be the candidate, I will support the candidate who is nominated."
DIFFERENT SCENARIOS ARE BEING DISCUSSED Although CHP Chairman Özgür Özel frequently states that İmamoğlu is the presidential candidate, different scenarios began to be discussed behind the scenes after his arrest.
"WE WILL HEAR THE NAME SELİN SAYEK BÖKE OFTEN" Journalist Sinan Burhan made an important claim during a program he attended on TV100: "Let me reveal the surprise of the day. If Özgür Özel is not the candidate of the CHP, with the support of Ekrem Bey, it will be Selin Sayek Böke. We will hear this name frequently now. The presidential candidate of Ekrem İmamoğlu is Selin Sayek Böke."
Selin Sayek Böke "IF ÖZGÜR ÖZEL BECOMES A CANDIDATE..." Burhan also commented on the possibility of Özgür Özel becoming a candidate, saying, "I am sharing a very clear insider information. The critical point is this; if Özgür Bey believes he will win, he will become a candidate. However, he must resign from the chairmanship to be a candidate. If he does not resign, the candidate will be Böke. Because if he loses, the chairmanship will also be at risk."
