Aslı Kotan was released on probation. Özgür Kabadayı and five others with him were detained on July 10. Kabadayı's arrest brings the number of imprisoned CHP mayors to 16.

CHP members of parliament reacted to the arrest of Şile Mayor Özgür Kabadayı. CHP Deputy Chairman for Local Governments Gökan Zeybek released a statement on social media regarding the arrest of Şile Mayor Özgür Kabadayı.

Zeybek, who included an image of Şile's local election results in his post, stated: "When polling day comes, our nation will teach a lesson to those who interfere with their will. As he has said before! The reason for this unlawful arrest is hidden in the election results below... This is exactly what they can't stomach! This is their fear. We will reach a brighter future together. We will change this system of oppression."

CHP WON IN BOTH PLACES

On the other hand, CHP's Mehmet Çiçek won the elections held after the arrest of the Manavgat Mayor with 20 votes to 16.

As part of the operation targeting CHP municipalities, 34 people, including Manavgat Mayor Niyazi Nefi Kara and deputy mayors, were detained.

Following the arrest of CHP member Ahmet Şahin, who had been elected acting mayor to replace the arrested Büyükçekmece Mayor Hasan Akgün, the CHP's candidate, Hakan Çebi, won the election. Çebi, who received 20 of the 35 votes in the third round, was elected acting mayor.
