Description
Erdal Besikcioglu is adored in Turkey for his TV role as troubled Ankara police detective Behzat C. This Sunday, the actor will play a different role, as he seeks to win over a conservative suburb of the capital in local elections. His selection as a candidate for the centre-left opposition CHP party came as a surprise, with Besikcioglu never previously expressing any political ambition. "People don't want a ghetto district anymore" he says, drawing parallels between his shows, characters and real life goals. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
