The day began with the detention of Şile Municipality Mayor Özgür Kabadayı, continuing the pattern of legal pressures on local government officials. As the day progressed, another significant development unfolded with the suspension of Adıyaman Mayor Abdurrahman Tutdere, further escalating the scrutiny on opposition-led municipalities. Concurrently, the long-standing Kurdish issue saw a tangible progression, with a delegation departing for Sulaymaniyah to witness a reported PKK disarmament ceremony. This marked a concrete step following discussions around Abdullah Öcalan's recent video message. AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik later detailed the three main categories of this disarmament process. The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality corruption probe also saw the release of a key informant. Towards the evening, reports also confirmed a meeting between President Erdoğan and Devlet Bahçeli.
