• On October 4, “Gardabnoba 2024”, an event organised by Gardabani City Hall, “Georgian Dream” candidates for parliament (from the election party list) delivered speeches [1], and awarded the honorary people from Gardabani themselves. These candidates were: Zaur Dargal, Savalan Mirzoev, and Irakli Shatakishvili. During their speech, candidates spread traditional “Georgian Dream” messages from the stage, as footage of infrastructure projects was shown on the stage's screen behind them.

Attendance of a candidate for parliamentary membership at a budget-financed event represents pre-election campaigning with budget funds, as well as, creates the perception that the event is organised by the ruling party.
According to the Election Code, such an activity is considered the use of administrative resources and carries a punishment of up to 4000 GEL.
