According to BirGün, Hüseyin Can Güner was born in Ankara in 1993. He joined the CHP in 2012, graduated from the Faculty of Law of Ankara University in 2015 and began practising as a lawyer. He served as chair of the CHP’s Etimesgut youth branch and as deputy chair of its Çankaya district organisation; in the 2023 general election he stood as a parliamentary candidate for Ankara’s 1st electoral district (BirGün, 13 Feb 2024).
He was elected Mayor of Çankaya in the local elections of 31 March 2024. According to a Medyascope report, following his arrest on 15 July 2026 he was removed from office by the Ministry of the Interior as a temporary measure (Medyascope, 15 Jul 2026).
Connection to the village
His connection to the village is stated only by Durum Gazetesi: “Çankaya Belediye Başkanlığı’na seçilen Hüseyin Can Güner’de yine bu köy kökenli.” (Hüseyin Can Güner, elected Mayor of Çankaya, also has roots in this village.) In the same report the muhtar (headman) of Ballıkaya, speaking of the mayors listed, says “hepsi bizim köylü” (“they are all from our village”) (Durum Gazetesi, 18 Apr 2024). We have not yet found another source showing his family’s connection to the village.
What is missing

- Official accounts (to be added once verified)
