The Mayor of Tbilisi, Kakha Kaladze, expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze for his positive assessment, which suggested that Kaladze is the only alternative candidate in the upcoming local self-government elections.

Kaladze emphasized that the recent progress in the capital was not solely his achievement but rather the result of the collaborative efforts of his entire team.

He thanked everyone involved in these projects and acknowledged the Prime Minister’s cooperation and support.

Kaladze stated that the final decision on the mayoral candidacy would rest with the Georgian Dream’s political council.

“We will make a statement on this a little later. Political council will meet, and we will decide both on the mayoral candidates and our representative in the Sakrebulo,” he noted.

Kaladze also dismissed the opposition’s chances in the upcoming elections, asserting that the Georgian people would not support them.

He criticized the opposition, stating they have no chance, regardless of whether they are united or fragmented.

“When you are radical, an enemy of the country, and governed from abroad, you are a traitor, and you will not have any support from the Georgian people. They understand this well and know they are doomed to failure. That is why they do not want to participate,” Kaladze said.
