Speaker: We won this election together with people who chose peace over war

“Today’s municipal elections, normally a political event of lesser significance, have become a referendum on trust for the government, which Georgian Dream won with confidence, the Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili wrote on the social network X.

As he notes, “We won this election together with the people who chose peace over war.”

“1,000,000 people cast their votes for Georgian Dream nation-wide, including over 200,000 votes for the Tbilisi mayor Kakha Kaladze. These represent record numbers for Georgian Dream in the past four consecutive municipal elections, both nationally as well as in Tbilisi. We won this election together with the people who chose peace over war, motherland over foreign domination, and the future over the past. I am grateful to every voter and promise a firmer stand for our nation, our faith, and our country. As for the foreign-supported violence committed by the radicals last night, I will definitely write of that, and write a lot,” he added.
