Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, who also heads the ruling Georgian Dream party’s election headquarters, called on the public to “remain vigilant and critically assess any provocations from the radical opposition.”
Speaking at the party’s office, he emphasized that no provocation would succeed and warned that any criminal actions would face severe consequences.
“With seven weeks remaining before the October 26 parliamentary elections, the campaign has been peaceful so far, with no significant violations reported,” Kobakhidze stated.
“We hope the election process will continue like this, and our political team is committed to ensuring this outcome.
“However, we have concerns about potential provocations and attempts to cause unrest from the side of the radical opposition, as they know that they can’t win.
We have also received information that the radical opposition is planning to incite public unrest, potentially by staging a high-profile criminal act. Any efforts to create chaos in Georgia will be severely punished,” the PM emphasized.
Kobakhidze concluded by saying that “the radical opposition is preparing to challenge the election results, aiming to create unrest and potentially force a government change.”
He reiterated that any such attempts would be dealt with harshly by the state, and he called on the public to remain alert to ensure a peaceful election environment.
“We urge the public to remain vigilant and critically assess any provocations, big or small, from the radical opposition,” he added.
“Maintaining a peaceful election environment is crucial for the stability of our country. Therefore, we must give the radicals no hope that their provocations will succeed,” he concluded.
