Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze addressed the government meeting, stating that opposition parties were dissatisfied with the OSCE/ODIHR’s assessment of the elections.

“The role of international observers was crucial during the elections, and I especially thank all observers, particularly the OSCE/ODIHR, which played a key role. The OSCE/ODIHR was the main monitoring mission,” Kobakhidze said.

He added that the opposition opposed the mission’s findings because they disagreed with its conclusions.

“Our opponents frequently assert that we should always accept criticism from our European partners. However, in this instance, they directly opposed the OSCE/ODIHR mission because they were unhappy with the summary report. I even observed that opposition TV channels abruptly cut off the live broadcast of the press conference, demonstrating their dissatisfaction with the positive assessment of the elections,” Kobakhidze remarked.
