First Statement from İmamoğlu

Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) President Ekrem İmamoğlufollowed the results of the 31 March 2024 local elections at the CHP Istanbul Provincial Headquarters in Sarıyer. Following the first results after the Supreme Electoral Board lifted the election bans, CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman Özgür Çelik and İmamoğlu appeared in front of the cameras at the press center established in the Provincial Directorate.

İmamoğlu stated that they currently have data at a rate approaching 40 percent and said, “In line with the data we have obtained, I can say that the favor of our citizens and the faith of our citizens in us have shown their reward. We are currently monitoring the data. We have a very strong team in our Provincial Directorate, under the leadership of our Provincial Chairman. "Of course, we also have a very serious data flow system at polling stations, in schools, in our district headquarters, and of course through Istanbul Volunteers," he said.

“THE PHOTO WE HAVE SEEN RIGHT NOW SATISFIES US EXTREMELY”

“Therefore, the photo we see now makes us very happy. "However, no election is concluded until it is over," said İmamoğlu, adding, "Therefore, the vote sorting process is currently continuing. Of course, the votes of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality are classified first. Therefore, at this point, we can see the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayoral votes in the first place and talk about them. However, there are two more documents that are very important for us, at least as important as the Metropolitan Municipality data. One of these is district mayoral data, and the other is district council membership data. Therefore, both of these minutes constitute the third result of the data we want to obtain in this election. In this context, as of now, I would like to sincerely thank all of our citizens, especially our citizens who voted, for fulfilling this sacred duty. "I know that we have good data on the sensitivity to fulfill the responsibility of voting on such a day, which is the most valuable symbol of our republic and democracy, a kind of wedding," he said.
