Article
Ekrem İmamoğlu (born 4 June 1970) is a Turkish politician who has served as the 32nd Mayor of Istanbul since 2019. In 2025, he was suspended from office by decree of the Ministry of Interior and subsequently held at Marmara Prison pending the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings. He denies the accusations and claims they have been politically motivated. He is the Republican People's Party (CHP) presumptive candidate for the next Turkish presidential election.
İmamoğlu was born in Akçaabat and moved to Istanbul in 1987. He attained a Bachelor's degree in business administration and a Master's degree in human resource management from Istanbul University and then worked as a developer in his family's construction and real estate business. In 2002, he became a board member of the multi-sport club Trabzonspor. İmamoğlu joined the CHP in 2008 and acted as president of party's local chapter in Beylikdüzü before being elected as mayor of Beylikdüzü in 2014. İmamoğlu was nominated by the CHP to replace Kadir Topbaş as Mayor of Istanbul in 2017 but the position went to Mevlüt Uysal.
