After Ekrem İmamoğlu's arrest as part of a corruption investigation, the Istanbul Governorship removed İmamoğlu from his position as the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
The Governorship announced that on Wednesday, March 26, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) Council would elect a new mayor in place of İmamoğlu.

The IMM Council convened today to elect a new mayor. In the first round of the secret ballot held in the Council, 301 votes were cast, and 5 votes were deemed invalid. The CHP candidate Aslan received 173 votes, while the AK Party candidate Okul received 123 votes.
In the second round of the election, 302 votes were cast. Aslan received 177 votes, and Okul received 125 votes. In both rounds, one of the candidates could not be elected as vice president because they did not receive two-thirds of the votes from the Council members.
As a result, the third round, which required a simple majority, was held. In the third round, 302 votes were cast. The CHP candidate Aslan received 177 votes, and the AK Party candidate Okul received 125 votes. With this result, Nuri Aslan became the IMM Vice President.
