Government could declare domestic opposition political parties unconstitutional if they continue going against the constitutional order in the country. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

Irakli Kobakhidze made the comment as he was asked about comments on threats by opposition about the Central Election Commission representatives and MPs.

“The threats are attempts to make specific people go against the constitutional order… This is the signature of these political forces. During the pre-election period, we talked about declaring political parties unconstitutional after the vote. We associated this with [the ruling party] obtaining a constitutional majority, but if these people continue like this, we may take this step even without a constitutional majority.

The Government could consider filing a constitutional lawsuit with just a small number of deputies for the purpose… The opposition is so weakened today that taking these kind of measures may no longer be necessary, although it would not be bad for the long-term stable development of the country…

You could see the pre-election period was unprecedentedly calm, and the election environment was competitive, absolutely free. As for the election day, these elections were held electronically, with over 90% of voters registering online, casting their votes electronically, and having their votes counted electronically”, - said the Head of the Government.

He claimed “there were not even unbalanced protocols, which had been a 30-year problem before the elections”, adding the Georgian Dream had “received public support, and everything else is speculation, which has no basis”.
