On a scale from "not good" to "oh oh", what do you reckon?

Well based solely on the fact that he’s been arrested and with zero prior knowledge about this except for the fact that erdogan is an autocrat, I’d say it looks like the other bloke was going to win tbh

Erdolf is rightfully scared about losing the election. I'm not fully convinced this stunt will do his poll ratings any good though. If his opponent still manages to run this might blow up in his face. Time will tell.

I'm not surprised in the slightest, as this isn't the first time that this happens in Turkey.

Not good was yesterday when the university degree got revoked. I still had hope that that's been a warning and the sole step against a potential opponent. Today that hope got squashed and there's no more pretending that Erdogan won't use every trick from the little dictator's handbook. It's bad news for Turkey and those citizens who were looking forward to a positive change. There are enough problems that need to be adressed and if Erdogan stays in charge will likely be ignored.
Unfortunately I feel that there won't be real pressure put on him internationally. He's in a comfortable position due to the war in Ukraine and the other conflicts in Syria, Israel/Palestine and so on.

It feels like the only way to get some democracy is through an Euromaidan then.
