Mayor allegations of bribery and tender rigging

Two separate cases are under investigation against Erdogan’s Rivio Imamoglu in Türkiye, including allegations of leading crime organization, bribery and tender rigging.

The mayor, arrested in a handwritten letter shared on social media, said that the Ottoman people will respond to “lies, conspiracy and traps” against him. Earlier, when they left the house for the police station, they had resolved not to give up even after the pressure was made.

‘Counter coup against the next president’

Republican People’s Party leader Ozgur Ojel said that his party will decide to make Imamoglu a presidential candidate on Sunday, no matter what. He says, “Türkiye is facing a coup against our next President. We are facing a coup attempt here.”

President’s election will be held in Türkiye in 2028

Significantly, the next presidential election in Türkiye is to be held in 2028, but Erdogan has already reached the limits of his two -time tenure as President. If he wants to contest again, he will either have to hold elections early or change the constitution.

71 -year -old Erdogan faced an embarrassing electoral defeat across the country in the municipal elections held last year, when Imamoglu’s party won the major cities of Türkiye. During this time, his party beat Erdogan’s ruling AK party in his strongholds. However, the Erdogan rule has denied the allegations of the opposition and said that the judiciary is independent.
