Turkey detains President Erdogan’s main rival days before becoming candidate | BBC News

Turkish authorities have detained the mayor of Istanbul, just days before he was due to be selected as a presidential candidate.

Ekrem Imamoglu, from the secular Republican People's Party (CHP), is seen as one of Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan's strongest political rivals.

Imamoglu said online "the will of the people cannot be silenced".
