💨 Abstract

Turkish police have detained an opposition mayor and 20 others over allegations of collusive tendering, as part of a widening government crackdown on opposition figures. The detained mayor, Alaattin Koseler, is from the Republican People's Party and serves as the mayor of Beykoz district in Istanbul. Critics argue that the crackdown aims to silence opposition and weaken President Erdogan's rivals ahead of elections.
