Turkish police raided the home of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu on Wednesday, detaining him over a corruption probe in a move denounced by the main opposition CHP party as a "coup".
A popular and powerful figure within the CHP, Imamoglu is President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main political rival, and his detention came days before he was to be named the party's candidate for the 2028 presidential election.
