August 10-11: TV Imedi promotes the Georgian Dream candidate using budget funds
- On August 10-11, Archil Beridze's solo concerts were held in Batumi, which were state-budget-financed. On August 16, the "Georgian Dream" announced Beridze's election candidacy. On the same day, TV Imedi aired a two-hour recording of Archil Beridze's solo concert from August 10.
This fact is problematic because 5 days before Archil Beridze was publicly nominated as a candidate of the ruling party, a solo concert was funded by the state budget, and after he was nominated, a budget-funded concert was televised on TV Imedi. "TV Imedi" may have made an illegal donation in favor of the ruling party's candidate.
