“After I announced that we cannot trust elections held under Ivanishvili’s rule and proposed an alternative internet-based vote, we already have three proposals,” said Paata Burchuladze, a civil activist and Georgian operatic bass.

According to him, experts from Europe and the United States are evaluating the reliability of the proposed systems.

“The idea of ‘telephone elections’ sparked significant interest. Similar methods have already been used in Estonia. Following my announcement, we received three different proposals. All will soon arrive in Georgia. International specialists from Europe and America will assess them. Once the most reliable option is identified, we will offer it to the ruling party, the Georgian Dream, as a way to ensure fair elections. There is no point in another sham election, which Ivanishvili and Kalandarishvili will manipulate as they please,” Burchuladze stated.

When asked if his son would be involved in developing the application, he replied: “No, don’t ask me about technical matters — I’ll provide the idea, and the specialists from Georgia, Europe, and America will determine which option is best. We already have three.”

Burchuladze added that the proposed applications already exist: one developed in Europe, and two in the United States.

“As soon as they arrive, I’ll let you know,” he said.

Burchuladze emphasised that the opposition is united in its stance that Georgian Dream must not be allowed to conduct fraudulent elections.

“We were all there — Lelo, United National Movement, party number 4 [Coalition for Change], Inashvili’s party, Levan Tsutskiridze — everyone,” Burchuladze noted.

He stressed the need to raise public awareness.

“We must tell people not to be fooled again. Everyone knows this will be a rigged election. Truth is our leverage — we are right, and they are lying,” he added.

Burchuladze also clarified his role, saying his goal is not to create a new political party, but to unite existing ones.

“I’m not forming a party. I aim to bring political forces together with the people. Our shared goal must be to remove this harmful and hostile government. And we will achieve it,” he concluded.
