The End Goal Remains the Same Regardless of the Presidential Candidate

CHP Group Chairman Özgür Özel attended the hearings of the cases against Ekrem İmamoğlu. Özel stated that it is not possible for Ekrem İmamoğlu to defend himself in three different hearings at the same time and on the same day. Özel also commented on the discussions about the presidential candidacy, using the words

Regardless of who the candidate is, who the party leader is, who is standing on this path, who is turning back, who is falling, who is inside, who is walking on the road, I say this: The road is greater than the sentence. The road is greater than our sentence. The road is even greater than the traveler. Because the end of the road is a true path. It doesn't matter which one of us will be the president. In the end, either one of us, or someone entirely different, but someone from among us will be the president.

. The processes of Ekrem İmamoğlu's arrest and trial continue to occupy an important place in the country's political agenda.
