The ruling Georgian Dream party Chair, Irakli Kobakhidze, on Wednesday, said the International Republican Institute (IRI)’s 2023 National Public Opinion Survey was “forged.”
Kobakhidze went on to say that “the prior case of fabricated personal ratings was particularly noticeable.”
“It is interesting that the favorites from the previous poll – Usupashvili, Lomjaria, Dolidze, who seemed to have incredible ratings – did not appear in the following IRI survey after a short while. This demonstrates that it is a manipulation from start to finish carried out under the organization’s name. All of this suggests that we might anticipate some challenges in the future as well, but the poll falsification at this level is pretty sad,” Kobakhidze asserted.
