Mustafa Sarıgül who was born in Erzincan in 1956, is the mayor of the Şişli district in Istanbul, where he was elected as the candidate of Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi for the past two terms.

However, as a member of the CHP he became a known figure of the opposition against the current party leader Deniz Baykal. He challenged Deniz Baykal in the party congress which was held on January 29, 2005 where he suffered a heavy loss against him. His and his followers' aggressive behaviors and fights that broke out in the party congress hall, named him as persona non grata by the party leadership and administration. It also has been announced that he will not be shown as a candidate for CHP in any other national or local elections again.
