Mdinaradze Accuses Zourabichvili of Bias, Calls for Probe into Election Monitors
Mamuka Mdinaradze, executive secretary of the ruling party Georgian Dream, has accused President Salome Zourabichvili of supporting opposition interests and called for an investigation into election monitoring organizations.
"Salome Zourabichvili is a person who still holds the post of President and is the most active oppositionist. It's a simple story. She is not concerned about any monitoring issues, and practically no risks accompany our elections. There are risks, for example, with ISFED, that the parallel vote counting data is not falsified again and that ISFED does not hide the truth from us for a month after the elections.
I call on Salome Zourabichvili to observe the monitoring organizations, which in turn falsified the elections in Georgia, and maybe tell us what conclusions she will draw as a result of this good observation. However, she will not tell us, because she herself is a participant in these agency plans, on which the plans of the United National Movement are based," said Mamuka Mdinaradze.
