Mamuka Mdinaradze: The collective National Movement, through the mouth of Nino Lomjaria, had to make a historical admission that no representative party of the radical opposition, apart from the National Movement, can cross the electoral barrier

The radical opposition, the collective National Movement, through the mouth of Nino Lomjaria, had to make a very big and one can say historical admission that no representative party of the radical opposition, apart from the Natio­nal Movement, can cross the electoral barrier, - Mamuka Mdinaradze, the leader of the parliamentary majority, said in response to a journalist's question relating to Nino Lomjaria’s statement about the unification of political parties, according to which "if the opposition parties close to the 5% threshold decide to run separately in the elections, there is a high risk that they will be left out of the Parliament and the sum of their opposition votes, which can reach 20%, will be distributed among the parties that cross the threshold."

As Mamuka Mdinaradze pointed out, "in this case, many votes can be distributed proportionally, including for Georgian Dream" which will definitely come in first place."

According to Mdinaradze, by this they admit that all the other parties are so unrated that none of them approaches the five percent threshold.

"As they [the opposition] admit that there will be too many undistributed votes or mandates, that is, they admit that all the other parties are so unrated that none of them approaches the five percent threshold. In this case, it is correct to assume that there will be many undistributed mandates, only in this I agree with Nino Lomjaria”, said Mdinaradze.
