The trial of 12 defendants, including Ekrem İmamoğlu, accused of irregularities at the CHP’s 38th Ordinary Congress, was held on February 23, 2026. The prosecutor requested that the case be combined with the “Imamoğlu criminal organization” case being heard at the Istanbul 40th Heavy Penal Court, stating that the two cases were effectively linked. The court decided to issue a letter of consent and postponed the hearing until April 1, 2026.
