Umit Ozdag, who heads the small anti-immigrant Victory party, was placed in pre-trial detention on charges of inciting public hatred on January 20.
He is also being tried on a separate charge of insulting the president -- a charge often used to silence Erdogan’s critics -- with the next hearing on September 10.
“The application of one law for (Erdogan’s AKP) ruling party and another for the opposition, is causing an extraordinarily harmful fragmentation within society,“ he said.
Over the past nine months, there has been a surge in legal cases against CHP mayors and municipal officials on graft charges, with observers seeing it as a government move to weaken the party which scored a huge victory against Erdogan’s AKP in 2024 local elections.
He was arrested on March 19 in connection with a graft probe and allegations of terror ties which critics say was designed to prevent him from running.
His arrest sparked protests across the country in the worst street unrest since 2013.
