\u201cThe OSCE\/ODIHR, as well as Georgian society, recognize the elections; this is the main point,\u201d stated the Georgian Prime Minister, Irakli Kobakhidze, at a briefing held at the Government Administration.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister presented the results of a survey in which 53.4% of respondents positively assessed the parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to share the results of a sociological survey commissioned by us. The survey included a question on the fairness of the elections: 45.5% of respondents considered the elections to be fair, while 7.9% saw minor violations. In total, 53.4% gave a positive response. Meanwhile, 4.4% considered the elections to have significant violations, and 19.6% viewed them as unfair, giving a total of 24% with a negative opinion. Additionally, 22.6% said they were unsure.<\/p>\n
The second question asked whether the election results were personally acceptable to the respondents. The responses were as follows: 44.7% said they were acceptable, 6.5% said they were mostly acceptable, so 51.2% found the results acceptable. On the other hand, 3.9% considered the results mostly unacceptable, and 22.8% found them completely unacceptable, with a total negative response at 26.7%. Again, 22.1% were unsure.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, both the OSCE\/ODIHR and Georgian society recognize the legitimacy of elections. This is the most important takeaway. The primary source of legitimacy is the Georgian people, and as you can see, they have acknowledged the legitimacy of these elections. The people who voted for the Georgian Dream with 54% are a testament to that, and the OSCE\/ODIHR\u2019s assessment is also important. We appreciate the OSCE\/ODIHR for its proper evaluation of Georgia\u2019s parliamentary elections,\u201d the Prime Minister concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
