“There will be no elections on October 4, and it does not matter who the candidate might be,” said Levan Sanikidze, a member of the United National Movement party.

According to him, such a challenging and unprecedented situation has not been seen in any previous election.

“As Bidzina Ivanishvili pens in the Gorbi research, he will record the election results exactly as he wishes, especially on October 4, because the current unprotected election legislation and the circumstances are unprecedented in any prior election. At the same time, when you go against the will of your own voters and the opposition supporters, it does not matter at all who the main executor is or who assumes the role Irakli Kupradze took on yesterday. They are participating in a Russian special operation, whose primary aim is to legitimise Ivanishvili. Unfortunately, they are simply playing Ivanishvili’s game,” Sanikidze said.
