In the last meeting held by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel at the Presidential Candidate Office, the absence of a photo of Ekrem İmamoğlu, which was present in previous meetings, drew attention. This change has led to various interpretations in party circles.
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel chaired the first Executive Board Meeting held at the party's Presidential Candidate Office (CAO). The meeting, which was closed to the press, lasted approximately 2.5 hours.
IMAMOGLU DETAIL CAUGHT ATTENTION After the meeting, the background of the area where Özel made his statement drew attention. In the meeting held by Özel at CAO on July 26, a photo of Ekrem İmamoğlu was present in the background, while it was observed that this photo was removed in the last meeting held on December 22.
The first background used at CHP's Presidential Candidate Office (July, 2025) DILEK IMAMOGLU DID NOT ATTEND It is known that Dilek Kaya İmamoğlu, the wife of Ekrem İmamoğlu, attended the meeting on July 26, while her absence in the last meeting was another detail that caught attention.
CANDIDACY MESSAGE? Özgür Özel's statements in front of the new background were interpreted in party circles as a "candidacy message." The complete removal of İmamoğlu's photo is being evaluated as part of Özel's strategy to take direct control in the candidacy process.
