The European Georgia, Girchi – More Freedom and Movement Droa will nominate joint majoritarian candidates in Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi for the upcoming October 2 local municipal elections on August 15.

Droa movement Leader Elene Khoshtaria stated that the municipal elections are “special elections, which is essentially a referendum,” noting that the opposition understands its responsibility before the Georgian population to propose the choice which will “give them [Georgian citizens] faith.”

Libertarian Leader of Girchi – More Freedom Zurab Japaridze also stressed the importance of forthcoming elections and noted that “these elections ultimately decide a lot.”

“This election resolves the issue of this government’s legitimacy…We agreed not to compete with each other and to support each other’s [Opposition’s] candidates,” Japaridze said.

The largest opposition political party United National Movement (UNM) will also support the joint majoritarian candidates nominated in Tbilisi, Leader of the European Georgia Giga Bokeria announced.

Bokeria also underscored that the full power should not be concentrated within a single political party, noting that ‘it is a key part’ of their agreement.
