Beyoğlu Mayor İnan Güney, after being released in the İBB case, visited CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and announced he would remain in the party.
Güney made his first statement after his release following 11 months in Silivri during his visit to Kılıçdaroğlu. While the CHP administration appointed by the annulment decision shared the visit, Güney emphasized his 33 years of party membership. The statement regarding İmamoğlu that he is 'not a political prisoner' continues to be debated.
