• On August 23, Prime Minister Kobakhidze stated that after the opposition parties would have been banned, their mandates would be revoked as well. According to him, if the ruling party obtains the constitutional majority in Parliament, they will ban the following opposition parties: UNM and its coalition members (Strategy Agmashenebeli and European Georgia), Coalition for Changes - Akhali, Girchi and Droa Lelo and its coalition, and Gakharia’s party.

The prime minister has thus spelled out his party’s electoral promise: if they win the elections, there will be no opposition parties in Georgia, and the ruling party will cancel the election results for those hundreds of thousands of Georgians who are going to vote for those opposition parties.
