Irakli Kobakhidze appeared and made the first statement after a long pause regarding the possible postponement of the elections. Kobakhidze accuses Nino Lomjaria of pursuing the interests of the National Movement
According to him, the only mechanism for postponing the elections is the state of emergency.
There is only legal mechanism for postponing the self-governance elections, it is the declaration of a state of emergency, and when the Public Defender speaks about the declaration of a state of emergency, it is in itself an anomaly ...
This is an expression of fear towards the elections, we remember such a campaign last year as well. This campaign was started by Nino Lomjaria then, and the "Shame Movement" continued, and in this case, too, Nino Lomjaria started again and Misha Mshvildadze, of the "Shame Movement" continued. Of course, all this is significant and shows that the National Movement is very afraid of the elections that are coming. Everyone should prepare for the elections and show the public what resources they have," Kobakhidze said.
Kobakhidze advises opposition to accept defeat:
"We advise them to come to terms with the defeat and prepare for the elections, which will likely bring them a mandate in certain municipalities," he said.
