Quick Glance: Ekrem İmamoğlu: The Istanbul Mayor in Confrontation with Erdoğan
- Imamoğlu's victory in the local elections marks a pivotal moment for Turkey's opposition. Despite Erdogan's efforts to reclaim Istanbul, Imamoğlu stood his ground, becoming Erdogan's arch-rival and a potential future presidential candidate.
- Imamoğlu's broad appeal enabled him to defeat Murat Kurum, Erdogan's AKP candidate, by a 12-percentage point margin. His winning streak reflected CHP victories nationwide, with Istanbul being a key focal point.
- Imamoğlu's diverse background has helped him reach a wide base. His social democratic ideology, combining free-market principles with state support, is a central aspect of his political identity.
- Despite increasing pressure from Erdogan through legal challenges and political maneuvers, Imamoğlu remains a standout politician, having been the only one to repeatedly beat Erdogan and potentially shaping the future of Turkey.

- The construction costs of these municipality buildings amounted to millions of liras, sparking public scrutiny and controversy, especially after the transition of power to the CHP.
