Now is not the time to despair, now is the time to protect every vote of the citizens of Georgia, by all means - we must all together turn to those forms of reasonable protest, which are primarily aimed at protecting the choices of our citizens, protecting the European future of our country and the institution of elections, - this Giorgi Gakharia, the leader of "Gakharia for Georgia", announced this at a briefing.

According to him, the published results do not reflect the will of the Georgian people.

"I want to tell you that at the moment we are fighting everywhere to protect the will of the citizens. Also, we are fighting with our international partners, we are fighting wherever it is legally possible, because the will of the citizens of Georgia should be confirmed objectively. These are not just perceptions, it is confirmed by facts that Ivanishvili violated the will of Georgian citizens. The published results certainly do not reflect the will of the Georgian people. Unfortunately, it didn't happen yesterday, we've been talking about it for a long time. We spoke with facts, concrete evidence that we gave to our international partners, including international monitoring missions, local international missions, and also, where possible, against these violations, which in many cases were ongoing and not only related to yesterday, also, We also work in the direction of the court.

I can unequivocally tell you that there was systemic voter intimidation, bribery, identity card and ID card manipulation. Also, pressure, intimidation and manipulation of ID cards on public officials, including the socially vulnerable, had a systematic character in order to steal the election results and the will of the Georgian people. During the last months, unprecedented pressure was put on our team and party, Bidzina Ivanishvili personally threatened to judge me and my team, young politicians. Of course, this had its concrete consequences, which were also reflected in the elections, but despite this, I want to say a big thank you to the representatives of each of our teams, our observers, supporters, because despite the unprecedented pressure and despite the scarcest financial resources compared to others, we At least we were able to prove to everyone that the party "For Georgia" is and will continue to be a decisive speaker in the political life of our country. Therefore, today I want to tell the citizens of Georgia that now is not the time for hopelessness, now is the time to protect every vote of the citizens of Georgia, by all means.

We should all understand that despite everything that "Georgian Dream" has done in recent months, and especially yesterday, with the violence against which these elections were held, they have never been as weak as they are today. "We should all together apply to those forms of reasonable protest, which, first of all, will aim to protect the choices of our citizens, to protect the European future of our country and the institution of elections," said Gakharia.
