İmamoğlu's striking post before the trial

CHP's presidential candidate and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu thanked the people of the capital at the rally organized by the CHP in Ankara's Tandoğan Square yesterday.

İmamoğlu's post and comments drew attention ahead of the CHP's congress hearing in Ankara today. İmamoğlu used the following phrases in his post:

Those who disregard the most fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law are the ones who inflict the greatest disservice on this beautiful country. Those who think they can win elections by designing the opposition behind the scenes have no understanding of this nation. Endless thanks to the hundreds of thousands who gathered in Ankara to put an end to this evil.

Those who disregard the most fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law are the ones who do this beautiful country the greatest disservice. Those who think they can win elections by designing the opposition behind the scenes are those who have never truly understood this nation.

We gathered in Ankara to stop this evil… pic.twitter.com/bvajBOfY3m
