Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has warned President Salome Zourabichvili against calling for new parliamentary elections
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has warned President Salome Zourabichvili against calling for new parliamentary elections, stating that such a move could result in criminal charges.
Speaking at a briefing, Kobakhidze accused Zourabichvili of meeting with opposition parties and non-governmental organizations on Saturday to discuss the possibility of announcing early elections.
The prime minister emphasized that under Georgian law, parliamentary elections can only be called in three specific scenarios:
Repeat elections if the Central Election Commission or Constitutional Court annuls prior results.
Scheduled elections at the end of the parliament’s four-year term.
Snap elections if the parliament fails to express confidence in the government.
Kobakhidze warned that any attempt by the president to schedule elections outside these parameters would constitute a legal violation.
Georgia’s parliamentary elections held on October 26, where the ruling party, "Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia," secured victory with 53.93% of the vote, winning 89 out of 150 parliamentary seats, according to the Central Election Commission.
