Istanbul Mayor and CHP's presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu was arrested amid corruption allegations, but this does not legally prevent him from running for president. His party, the CHP, held a primary election allowing all citizens to vote in solidarity after his detention, leading to him receiving approximately 15 million votes. Although there are serious accusations against him, according to Turkey's constitution, there are no obstacles to his candidacy, as legal proceedings have not concluded, keeping his options open for the upcoming election.
Despite Ekrem İmamoğlu's recent arrest, there are no legal barriers preventing him from being elected as a presidential candidate in Turkey's upcoming elections, as his charges have yet to be finalized.
The CHP's decision to open primary elections to all citizens for İmamoğlu’s candidacy amid his arrest reflects a strategic move to rally public support at a crucial political juncture.
